OpenAI discounts and credits reportedly win customers from Anthropic
Overview
OpenAI has been more lenient than Anthropic in giving out discounts and free credits during contract negotiations, and that approach has convinced a number of customers to switch to OpenAI in recent months, according to The Information, as reported by Stephanie Palazzolo on X. Anthropic has been taking a harder line in those negotiations, Palazzolo's post says.
Journalist Amir Efrati says on X that OpenAI's discounting is serious and is having an impact. His post gives no details on the discounts, products, prices, or customers affected, and no other report in the set describes them.
