Access across enterprise Microsoft products
The partnership forms part of Anthropic’s ongoing plan to operate and train its systems on large clusters optimised for high-performance workloads.
Claude models will be available to customers using Microsoft Foundry, providing access to Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.1, and Claude Haiku 4.5.
The company stated this expansion will make Claude the only frontier model deployed across all major global cloud providers.
Azure customers will gain access to these models alongside existing options and will be able to use Claude-specific capabilities for development workflows involving AI tools and integration across enterprise systems.

The objective is to improve performance and efficiency while reducing long-term operational costs.
Anthropic also aims to ensure its platforms benefit from hardware developments tuned for large-scale distributed computing.
With this agreement, Anthropic can expand its deployment across enterprise environments that rely heavily on cloud hosting and cloud storage.
The scale of the deal suggests a strategic push to secure sustained access to compute capacity, which may reduce constraints associated with rapidly scaling model development.
The partnership may also allow Microsoft and Nvidia to reinforce their positions in competitive AI markets through deep ecosystem alignment rather than isolated product integration.
