Replit CEO Amjad Masad announced at TechCrunch Disrupt that the AI coding platform is no longer working with Anthropic, citing cost and superior performance from OpenAI's ChatGPT as the reasons for the shift. Masad stated that Replit uses internal and public benchmarks to evaluate models, and that OpenAI is currently the better partner for the company's needs.
However, the finality of this decision is unclear, as a source familiar with the partnership told TechCrunch that the collaboration between Replit and Anthropic is still ongoing. This creates a conflicting narrative about the relationship status between the two tech companies, suggesting the transition to exclusively using OpenAI may not be fully complete or is being disputed.
