"Replit makes OpenAI its default over Anthropic, CEO says" — TechCrunch · AI & Technology
, an online coding platform, has switched its default AI model provider from (maker of Claude) to for its coding assistant. This means the AI that powers code generation and auto-completion for most users will now use OpenAI's models by default. CEO Amjad Masad stated at TechCrunch Disrupt that the change was driven by better performance and cost of OpenAI models, though users can still manually select other providers like Anthropic.
The claim is based on a TechCrunch article reporting CEO Amjad Masad's public statement at TechCrunch Disrupt. The reporting sits close to the primary source (the CEO's own words at a public event), so the accuracy of the claimed decision and reasoning is high, though the actual performance and cost comparisons are the CEO's assertions.
The story was published on October 16-17, 2026, making it genuinely new as of this writing.
