Replit has moved the bulk of its AI spending from Anthropic to OpenAI, according to The Information. OpenAI reportedly offered a discount of more than 30% on a deal worth over $100 million a year, after Anthropic ended its discount. Replit's coding agent now defaults to OpenAI models, though Claude remains selectable. The episode is being read as a sign that pricing, not model quality, is deciding major AI contracts.

Why now: The story suggests AI model providers compete mainly on price, undercutting claims that top models have a durable moat.
