OpenAI is rapidly positioning itself to be the definitive winner in enterprise artificial intelligence adoption. It’s doing so by an order of magnitude compared to competitors such as Anthropic. According to recent data from Ramp, a digital finance platform, OpenAI’s business user base has grown 1053% in just the last quarter. It surged from 1 million in September to more than 2 million last month. This astonishing expansion has made OpenAI a powerful force in the AI industry.
Anthropic has more than doubled its own subscription numbers during the same time period. As of last month, 8% of businesses were paying for subscriptions to Anthropic’s products — a significant increase from only 4.6% in January. Even with this positive step, Anthropic’s progress still looms small beside OpenAI’s meteoric rise on the enterprise front.
