Replit, the AI coding platform that has become a favorite of startup founders and developers, is no longer working with Anthropic, the company’s CEO and co-founder Amjad Masad said Thursday while onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt.
Key facts
- For instance, a blog post in late September cites Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and Claude Fable 5.1 as models running in Replit Agent’s production environment
- This article was originally published on October 16 at 2:22 pm PT
- We’re not sharing ARR numbers yet, but in terms of growth, like, I would say, enterprise was like 2% of revenue last year,” Masad said
- Backstage, Masad told TechCrunch that he expects more than half of Replit’s revenue to come from enterprise and government customers in 2027
Summary
Masad said the decision was made for several different reasons, including cost. “I think ChatGPT is better now,” Masad said, adding that the company uses an internal benchmark to help assess metrics like performance. It seems, however, that Anthropic hasn’t been completely cut out of Replit, which sells a cloud-based software development platform where users can develop and deploy apps directly from inside their browser. After Disrupt, Masad clarified that customers can still access Anthropic models on the platform, but that OpenAI’s ChatGPT is now the default.
