• Copilot remains powered by OpenAI’s latest models and now also supports Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 and Claude Opus 4.1 for deep reasoning and agent tasks.

• Researcher agent can run on either OpenAI or Anthropic models and lets users switch models after they opt in to support complex multistep work across the web, third-party data, and Microsoft 365 content such as emails, chats, meetings, and files.

NYU Stern and GoodFin Find Frontier AI Models Can Pass CFA Level III Mock Exams

Intelligence: A new study reports that several advanced language models can pass CFA Level III mock exams, overcoming the essay section that previously held models back.

• Researchers from NYU Stern and GoodFin evaluated 23 large language models on multiple-choice and essay questions from mock CFA Level III exams.

• Frontier reasoning models, including o4 mini, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Claude Opus, achieved passing performance when prompted with chain-of-thought techniques.

• Earlier studies showed AI could pass Levels I and II but struggled with Level III due to constructed response essays, and the new results narrow that gap.

• Models produced passing answers in minutes, while humans typically require about 1,000 hours of study over several years to clear the three parts.

• Results apply to mock exams rather than official CFA administrations, showing capability under test-like conditions but not certification.

• Findings highlight rapid gains in model reasoning that could affect finance workflows and assessment design.
