Replit Switches Default AI Model to OpenAI, Keeps Claude Available

Replit, the cloud‑based coding platform, announced that it will now use OpenAI as its default large‑language‑model provider, replacing Anthropic. The change was confirmed by CEO Masad over the weekend. Despite the switch, Replit will continue to offer Claude to its users, allowing developers to choose between the two models. The move reflects Replit’s ongoing efforts to streamline AI integration for its community while maintaining flexibility. Users can expect the new default to be available immediately, with Claude remaining an option for those who prefer Anthropic’s technology.
