Replit Ends Anthropic Partnership as Enterprise Revenue Jumps to 15%

3 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Oct 16

Summary

  • Amjad Masad said at TechCrunch Disrupt that Replit is no longer working with Anthropic, marking a break from the Claude-powered setup that had underpinned its coding platform.
  • Cost, partnership issues and benchmarked performance drove the move, Masad said, adding that ChatGPT now performs better and that Replit's Sol and Astra models do better on apps built from scratch.
  • Anthropic's exit is not fully clear: a person familiar with the deal said the partnership was still in place, and a September Replit blog post cited Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 in Replit Agent's production environment.
  • 15% of Replit's revenue now comes from enterprise contracts, up from 2% last year, while more than 50% of revenue is B2B as the company pushes further beyond individual developers.
