Anthropic Finally Beat OpenAI in Business AI Adoption — but 3 Big Threats Could Erase Its Lead
Ramp’s AI Index shows Anthropic at 34.4% of participating businesses, topping OpenAI for the first time as its business share rose sharply.
- Anthropic surpassed OpenAI in verified business adoption for the first time, reaching 34.4% compared to OpenAI's 32.3%, according to Ramp's May 2026 AI Index tracking more than 50,000 U.S. businesses.
- Anthropic's yearlong surge was fueled significantly by Claude Code, the company's agentic AI coding tool that became the fastest-growing product in its history since late 2025.
- Adoption of Claude Code among Uber engineers jumped from 32% to 84% in months, with the company spending its entire 2026 AI budget largely on that tool and Cursor, reaching $2,000 per person monthly.
- Responding to the data, OpenAI asserted it drives "enterprise transformation at scale," while Ramp economist Ara Kharazian warned that the competitive AI market remains unusually volatile and subject to rapid shifts.
- Facing escalating costs and compute constraints that threaten its position, Anthropic struck a deal with SpaceX to access more than 300 megawatts of capacity at the Colossus 1 data center in Memphis.
