Microsoft Couples GPT and Claude to Elevate AI Research Beyond Solo Models

TL;DR Summary
Microsoft introduced two Copilot Researcher modes—Critique and Council—that pair OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude to tackle complex research tasks. In Critique, GPT plans, sources, and drafts, while Claude reviews for factual accuracy and citation quality before the final report. In Council, GPT and Claude generate parallel reports that a third judge summarizes to show agreements and gaps. On the DRACO benchmark, the GPT+Claude combo scored 57.4, beating Claude Opus 4.6 (42.7) and the next-best by nearly 14%, with notable gains in breadth, presentation, and factual accuracy. Access is limited to Frontier early-access alongside a Copilot license.
