Replit makes OpenAI models the default for Replit Agent
Sorted AI18 OctReplit CEO Amjad Masad said on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt that OpenAI is now the preferred partner for Replit Agent, citing cost, the partnership and performance, and said OpenAI's Sol and Astra models score better on Replit's own app-building benchmark. He first said Replit was no longer working with Anthropic, then clarified that users can still pick Claude models but OpenAI is the default. A person familiar with the Anthropic partnership told TechCrunch it is still in place. Masad also said enterprise contracts are now about 15% of Replit's revenue, up from about 2% last year.
Why it matters: If your team builds apps in Replit, check which model your agent now runs on, since output quality and cost can shift. You can still choose Claude if your projects work better with it.
