OpenAI is gaining on Anthropic with business users, new data indicates

TechCrunch 1 month ago 52 ● 10 sources

Ramp data shows OpenAI has narrowed the lead Anthropic previously held among US business customers using Ramp’s bill pay and corporate card products. In May, Anthropic reached 41% market share versus OpenAI’s 39%, and by July Anthropic was at nearly 44% versus OpenAI’s nearly 40%. The result is a sign of shifting enterprise demand and indicates business AI spending may be less “sticky” than assumed, with both firms expected to keep growing as more Ramp customers pay for AI.

As a result, investors are reassessing which “lanes” companies fit and are urging vulnerable founders to consider returning cash rather than running out to zero.

Tech Funding News 1 month ago 6 ● 6 sources

Fractile entered advanced talks to raise $600M at a $6.5B pre-money valuation after securing a $250M AI inference chip deal with Anthropic. The talks would value the company at six times its May valuation. The higher valuation is tied to demand for inference hardware despite Fractile’s chips not shipping until 2027, increasing pressure as it competes with other inference-chip and system vendors.
