According to a recent report released by Menlo Ventures, the AI models developed by the artificial intelligence research laboratory Anthropic have become more popular in the enterprise market than those of OpenAI. This trend reflects the rapid changes in AI technology within commercial applications. Currently, Anthropic holds a 32% share in the enterprise large language model market, while OpenAI ranks second with a 25% share.
This change is a clear contrast to the previous market situation. Two years ago, OpenAI held a 50% share in the enterprise market, while Anthropic had only a 12% share. However, since 2023, OpenAI's market share has experienced a sharp decline, while Anthropic's share has steadily increased. At the same time, the usage of Google's models in enterprises has also risen, but in the programming field, Anthropic has performed better, with a 42% share in the enterprise market, far exceeding OpenAI's 21%.
The report states that the Claude3.5Sonnet model launched by Anthropic in June 2024 laid the foundation for a surge in its usage. The subsequent Claude3.7Sonnet further accelerated this trend. These data align with the general perception within the industry, as many enterprises and startup developers tend to prefer Claude over OpenAI's ChatGPT when choosing models.
Although Anthropic has achieved significant success in the enterprise market, OpenAI still maintains a strong position in the consumer market. OpenAI recently reported that more than 2.5 billion prompts are sent to ChatGPT daily, demonstrating its wide application in the consumer sector.
The report also mentioned that enterprises are increasingly inclined to use closed-source models when selecting AI models. Data shows that more than half of the enterprises state they do not use open-source models. By mid-2025, only 13% of enterprises relied on open-source models for their daily workloads, a decrease from 19% at the beginning of the year. In the open-source market, Meta continues to dominate, reflecting different strategies enterprises take in choosing models.
Anthropic's rapid rise and OpenAI's relative decline reflect the dynamic changes in AI technology within the business field. As companies pursue technological innovation, they are gradually shifting towards more secure and closed models to ensure data security and performance stability.
