Replit CEO says company ended partnership with Anthropic over cost and performance
Replit co-founder Amjad Masad announced Thursday at TechCrunch Disrupt that the platform is no longer working with Anthropic.
Reasons for ending deal
Masad stated the decision involved cost, partnership dynamics, and performance metrics. The company uses an internal benchmark to assess how well different models build applications from scratch. Replit previously partnered with OpenAI in August but had never indicated a break with Anthropic.
Internal model comparison
The platform consistently found that Sol and Astra performed better on specific tasks. Masad noted that ChatGPT is currently considered superior by the team. The company sells a cloud-based software development platform where users build apps inside their browser.
Conflicting insider reports
Some insiders claim the partnership remains in place despite the CEO's comments. There is evidence that Replit used Anthropic products as recently as September. One person familiar with the situation asked not to be named regarding the current status.
