A price war heats up
OpenAI is offering discounts of up to 90 percent to pull Anthropic's biggest customers over to its side. According to the companies involved, the switch delivers a major drop in AI spending.
Who switched?
Names such as Rippling, Replit and DataCamp say they cut their costs by up to 90 percent after changing providers. These examples show the discounts are not just on paper.
What it costs OpenAI
With this move, OpenAI is giving up margin to buy market share. Coming at a time when Anthropic's growth has slowed, the push shows the rivalry between the two firms is being fought on price.
Pressure from Chinese rivals
The price pressure isn't limited to these two. Chinese competitors like DeepSeek are adding to it with low-cost policies, making pricing an increasingly critical battleground for model providers.
