Available today: Anthropic Claude Fable 5 in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft is expanding model choice in Microsoft 365 Copilot with Anthropic’s latest model, Claude Fable 5 as a preview model—designed to support longer, multi-step workflows. As organizations move beyond simple prompts to more complex work, customers are using Copilot to help plan, draft, and iterate across tasks. With Work IQ, Copilot can ground tasks and outputs in relevant work context so responses are more relevant to the work at hand.

Putting file-level archiving into practice with Microsoft 365 Archive and Syskit Point

Active SharePoint sites often accumulate years of obsolete background data. When Copilot draws on this content, it can surface outdated or redundant files alongside current materials, creating noise. Organizations that keep their active content clean can give Copilot a stronger signal to work with, and their teams a better experience acting on what it surfaces. Microsoft 365 Archive and Syskit Point help you address stale content at the source and offer a way to improve the reliability of what Copilot returns.
