Microsoft boosts AI sales by benchmarking against OpenAI and Anthropic

Friends, I’d like to share a development from the AI sector.

According to Bloomberg, Microsoft is steering its sales team toward more assertive comparisons of its solutions with OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.

The focus is on an end-to-end platform: not standalone models, but the full stack.

Copilot is already being benchmarked against Claude in terms of speed, accuracy and security integrations. At the same time, Microsoft is increasingly promoting its own models rather than third-party ones.

Why it matters: the AI market is shifting ever more clearly from partnerships to direct competition, and for businesses that means greater pressure on price and quality.

Do you think this strategy will strengthen Microsoft’s position?
