Per The Information, OpenAI is winning over Anthropic customers with steep discounts, potentially deepening its own losses. At Rippling, Anthropic models powered 57% of coding work in May vs 16% for OpenAI; the split has since reversed to 52% OpenAI and 18% Anthropic as the company cut costs, CEO Parker Conrad said. Replit shows similar shifts. kimmonismus notes this explains why OpenAI halved its consumer subscription plans, while Anthropic's renewed lead on OpenRouter suggests better models can quickly win users back.
