Key points

  • OpenAI gave Rippling a discount that raised its coding workload share from 16% to 52%.
  • Replit switched after OpenAI offered more than 30% off a contract worth over $100 million per year.

OpenAI is achieving the cuts through its Sol and Luna model lines, which it says are more efficient, even as both firms feel price pressure from Chinese rivals Deepseek and Kimi that deliver comparable performance for a fraction of the cost.

Anthropic’s growth slowed from Q2 to Q3, according to an investor memo, highlighting the competitive impact of OpenAI’s discount strategy on market share and margins.
