- Replit is an AI coding platform that lets users build and deploy apps right in the browser. According to the original report, the service ran its platform on Anthropic's Claude models.
- CEO Amjad Masad said on the TechCrunch Disrupt stage, citing cost, partnerships, and performance, that ChatGPT is now the better choice. The performance comparison is a claim the company made based on its own benchmarks. Replit also announced a partnership with OpenAI in August.
- An anonymous source disputed this, saying the partnership with Anthropic is still in place. The original report says a September blog post named Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 as models running in Replit Agent's production environment.
- Masad said the share of revenue from enterprise customers rose from 2% last year to 15% this year, and that 50% or more of revenue comes from business-to-business deals. These figures are what the company said and have not been independently verified in the original report.
O: This is worth a look for founders building apps with Replit who want to check whether the model behind their service has changed and recheck costs and performance.
X: Company announcements and responses from officials conflict, so it needs to be verified how an actual model change shows up in customer-facing screens and pricing.
