Replit switches to OpenAI as default model, keeps Claude available

Replit, a widely used cloud-based coding and development platform, has made OpenAI its default AI model provider, according to CEO Amjad Masad. Anthropic's Claude, which was previously the default, will remain available to users who choose to use it.

The shift reflects a strategic decision about which AI models to prioritize on the platform. Both OpenAI and Anthropic offer capable large language models used by developers and builders for coding assistance and other tasks.
