Maybe it's just Microsoft moving to more model agnostic tech within their copilot. I recently started using Microsoft 365 Copilot because corporate added Cowork which runs on Opus 4.7 which was better than the alternative we have available. Unlike the "real" Claude Code or Cowork this only has access to files in a specific onedrive folder in your personal sharepoint container, so it's much more compliant to things like NIS2.
Technically we're using Copilot and we're playing for it through Microsoft licenses, but it's using Opus 4.7. Even before this, most of our custom agents within m365 copilot were one of the GPT models.
Or maybe you're right and they want their developers to use the copilot models.
Copilot Cowork seems to be the best part of M365 Copilot by a huge margin.
I really dislike that I can't customize it with permanent config files, similar to how I can configure a regular GPT model agen. I guess it's probably because it's in the fancy word they use for "beta".
I haven't really used any other Copilot product in a while since they were so bad compared to our other corporate options, but I'm rather impressed with Cowork inside it. Exactly because we can actually use it without breaking any EU laws.
