Replit CEO Says ChatGPT Is Now the Default, Replacing Claude
Summary
Replit CEO Amjad Masad says OpenAI's ChatGPT is now the default model on the coding platform, replacing Anthropic's Claude, citing cost, performance, and partnership. Anthropic models remain available to users. Masad said Replit had been a top-five Anthropic customer, but people familiar with the partnership disputed that it ended.
Key Points
- Masad says Replit's internal and public benchmarks show OpenAI's Sol and Astra build vibe-coded apps better than Claude.
- Masad says enterprise contracts grew from 2% of revenue last year to 15% this year.
- A late-September blog post cites Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Fable 5.1 running in Replit Agent's production environment.
