Replit CEO says company has dropped Anthropic

Replit CEO Amjad Masad told the TechCrunch Disrupt stage that the AI coding platform is no longer working with Anthropic, citing cost, partnership and performance. Replit announced a partnership with OpenAI in August. One person familiar with the deal told TechCrunch the Anthropic partnership is still in place, and Replit blog posts from late September still name Claude models. Masad also said enterprise contracts now make up about 15% of revenue, up from 2% last year. TechCrunch has asked Replit for clarification.

Why it matters: If you rely on one AI provider, check your contract terms and keep a fallback option ready, because vendor arrangements can shift quickly, as this dispute shows.
