Replit shifted most of its AI spending to OpenAI after getting a discount over 30%, in a deal worth more than $100M a year; Anthropic wouldn't match it without a bigger spending commitment. Rippling's coding work on OpenAI models jumped from 16% to 52% since May, while Anthropic's share fell from 57% to 18%. DataCamp says OpenAI's pricing cut its costs by 80-90%. Replit CEO Amjad Masad cited cost, partnership and performance, but said Replit stays model agnostic. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why did Replit switch most of its AI spending from Anthropic to OpenAI? Replit moved most of its AI spending to OpenAI after OpenAI offered a discount of more than 30%, in a contract worth over $100 million a year. Anthropic had discounted its models before but would not extend that discount without a bigger spending commitment. Replit's CEO Amjad Masad said the decision came down to cost, partnership, and performance, though Replit remains model agnostic and still lets users choose Claude. _Comparing LLM vendor costs for your own stack? daily.dev surfaces reporting like this as pricing shifts play out._ ### How much did OpenAI's pricing cuts save DataCamp and Rippling on AI costs? DataCamp's CEO Jonathan Cornelissen said OpenAI's pricing cut his company's costs by 80% to 90%. Rippling, meanwhile, shifted the share of its coding work handled by OpenAI models from 16% to 52% between May and the report, while Anthropic's share fell from 57% to 18% over the same period. _Teams budgeting for AI coding spend can follow vendor discount trends like these on daily.dev._ ### What price cuts have OpenAI and Anthropic made to their models recently? On September 22, OpenAI halved GPT-6 prices with its Sol and Luna models, and on the same day Anthropic launched a cheaper Opus 5.5, saying the new model needs less computing power to run than Opus 5. Chinese open-weight models, including Moonshot's Kimi K3.1 Pro released with open weights due November 4, add further pricing pressure. _Tracking the AI model price war helps teams choosing between OpenAI and Anthropic avoid overpaying, a reason to follow it on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Replit is no longer working with Anthropic, CEO says](https://daily.dev/posts/replit-is-no-longer-working-with-anthropic-ceo-says-dwx4lw3uu) · TechCrunch · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit](https://daily.dev/posts/i-think-anthropic-and-openai-have-found-product-market-fit-azovmehbd) · Simon Willison · 4 upvotes · 1 comments - [OpenAI vs Anthropic API Pricing Comparison \(2026\): Which LLM Is Actually Cheaper?](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-vs-anthropic-api-pricing-comparison-2026-which-llm-is-actually-cheaper--d59asu5ro) · finout · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/openai-s-discounts-win-anthropic-customers-the-information-reports-jefxcyaek) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"OpenAI’s discounts win Anthropic customers, The Information reports","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-s-discounts-win-anthropic-customers-the-information-reports-jefxcyaek","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openai-s-discounts-win-anthropic-customers-the-information-reports-jefxcyaek"},"datePublished":"2026-10-26T14:22:41.753Z","dateModified":"2026-10-26T14:23:11.675Z","description":"OpenAI's steep discounts are pulling enterprise customers away from Anthropic, The Information reports.
