Report: OpenAI tells employees it is growing again, with Codex eating into Claude Code’s market share
The competition between OpenAI and Anthropic continues to intensify. Last night during the Super Bowl, a comedic Anthropic ad poked fun at OpenAI’s plans to add advertisements to ChatGPT, something it says it will not do to its Claude chatbot. And both companies released new models last week with improved coding capabilities.
In case OpenAI employees were beginning to sweat from all the pressure, CEO Sam Altman sought to assure the team that the company has gotten its mojo back.
According a new report from CNBC, Altman told employees in an internal Slack group that the company is “back to exceeding 10% monthly growth” and is seeing “insane” growth in its Codex coding tool.
A chart circulated among OpenAI employees shows that this new tool is winning market share from Claude Code, per a screenshot viewed by CNBC.
Per the report, Altman said another new model was coming this week. The company is reportedly working on what could end being a $100 billion investment round.
