In today’s episode of “AI’s corporate Hunger Games”… Anthropic just swiped OpenAI’s crown.
According to new data from Menlo Ventures, Claude is now the most-used AI model among enterprises, officially dethroning OpenAI.
Here’s what the numbers say:
Anthropic now holds 32% of the enterprise LLM market
OpenAI? Down to 25%.
Meta’s Llama got 9% in the bag, while DeepSeek, despite its headline-grabbing launch is sitting at a lonely 1%.
For context: just two years ago, OpenAI held 50%, with Anthropic trailing behind at 12%. So yeah… huge flip.
But the real flex? Coding.
Claude absolutely owns that lane with 42% of enterprise usage, while OpenAI trails with 21%. If you ask me that’s not a gap—that’s a total beatdown.
So what changed? Two key moments:
Claude 3.5 Sonnet dropped in June 2024, and…
Claude 3.7 Sonnet followed in February 2025
Clearly, developers loved what they saw—and never looked back.
And honestly? This shift tracks with what insiders have been saying for a while: enterprises are all in on Claude. And this time, it’s not just hype. They’re actually building with it.
Meanwhile:
Google’s slowly climbing the ranks with (20%) enterprise usage.
Meta still dominates the open-source space, though it’s not exactly a top priority for most enterprises
And OpenAI? It’s still got a massive grip on the consumer side—with 2.5 billion ChatGPT prompts sent every day
But, here’s the stat that really sums it up:
Only 13% of enterprise workloads are running on open-source models—that’s down from 19% just six months ago. Which pretty much says one thing:
Companies are choosing closed models—and more often than not, Claude keeps getting the nod.
The bottom line?
Anthropic’s not just rising—it’s taking the lead where it counts.
Sure, OpenAI might still win the headlines… But Claude? It’s winning the boardrooms, the workflows, and the builders.
As for how long this lead holds—we’ll be watching.
