Replit moves primary model partnership from Anthropic to ChatGPT
Replit’s CEO cited cost and performance metrics for ending its primary partnership with Anthropic. The company now prioritizes ChatGPT, noting that enterprise revenue has grown to 15% of total income.
The CEO of Replit announced that the company is no longer working with Anthropic as its primary partner. He stated the decision was based on costs, partnership dynamics, and performance. Internal benchmarks and public metrics indicate that Sol and Astra perform better than Anthropic's models for building vibe-coded applications from scratch. Replit previously used Anthropic's Fable 5 and Fable 5.1 models to assist its agents but is now prioritizing ChatGPT as its main model provider. The CEO emphasized that this shift reflects a strategic choice to partner with the technology currently delivering superior results for their specific use cases. The move coincides with significant growth in Replit's business model. Enterprise revenue grew from 2% of total revenue last year to approximately 15% this year. More than 50% of the company's total revenue now comes from B2B sources.
