Replit CEO Amjad Masad said the company is no longer working with Anthropic, citing cost, its OpenAI partnership and performance.
"I think ChatGPT is better now," Masad said onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt, according to TechCrunch's Oct 16 report, adding that on Replit's internal and public benchmarks OpenAI's Sol and Astra consistently do better at building vibe-coded apps from scratch. Replit announced an OpenAI partnership in August.
A person familiar with the partnership told TechCrunch it is still in place, and TechCrunch noted a late-September Replit blog post listing Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 as models running in Replit Agent's production environment. "Replit stopped working with Anthropic?" Ed Zitron wrote on X. Masad also said enterprise contracts went from about 2% of revenue last year to about 15% this year.
