OpenAI mulls slashing prices as it competes with Anthropic for users: WSJ
The company is weighing lower token prices after Anthropic surpassed it in valuation and both firms moved closer to public listings.
- On Wednesday, OpenAI began weighing significant price cuts to its artificial intelligence offerings to compete with rival Anthropic, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.
- Both companies are moving closer to public offerings; OpenAI filed confidentially for an IPO on Monday, while Anthropic surpassed it in valuation at $965 billion in May versus OpenAI's $852 billion in March.
- OpenAI currently charges tiered subscriptions of $8, $20, and $100 monthly for access to its flagship models, while Anthropic charges $17 for Claude Pro and $100 and above for Claude Max.
- Price reductions could strengthen OpenAI's enterprise market position as reports indicate the company is developing a broader platform combining coding tools and artificial intelligence agents into a single integrated service.
- Analysts suggest OpenAI could eventually achieve a valuation exceeding $1 trillion, though discussions regarding pricing cuts remain ongoing and no final decision has been made by the company.
