OpenAI reportedly won a $100 million-plus annual deal with steep discounts, free credits and on-call engineers — to lure away Anthropic customers
Citing The Information's October 24 report, the article says Replit moved most of its AI spending from Anthropic to OpenAI after OpenAI offered model discounts of more than 30%, with the annual contract worth over $100 million, plus free credits and engineers providing close support. Other longtime Anthropic customers, including Rippling and Atomicwork, have also shifted at least partly to OpenAI, and a bank weighing Claude was offered doubled ChatGPT accounts at the same annual fee. The episode matters because frontier-model rivalry is now being fought with price and service for enterprise coding workloads, not just model quality.
