• Microsoft has reportedly instructed its sales team on Tuesday to position in-house AI models above rival offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic.
• Executive Vice President Jay Parikh told staff, "Everyone else is selling parts — we're selling the full end-to-end system" Copilot chief Jacob Andreou compared Copilot with Anthropic's Claude, saying it was slower, less accurate and did not have strong security integrations across Microsoft's Office apps.
• The change comes after Microsoft ended OpenAI's exclusivity through a deal in April.
