This map shows which states are paying for OpenAI vs Anthropic — and there's a clear winner
Spending on OpenAI was higher than on Anthropic in 47 states, according to Yipit data. Claude led in only Massachusetts, Montana, and California.
Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are the leaders of OpenAI and Anthropic, respectively. YipitData's data shows that OpenAI spent more than Anthropic in 47 states. Massachusetts, Montana, and California were the only states where Anthropic led in spending. OpenAI had at least 70% of spending in eight states, with Delaware being the highest at 82%.
The map doesn't perfectly reflect consumer AI preferences, as it doesn't account for free users of ChatGPT and Claude, and it compares states with vastly different populations. Meta and Google's Gemini are also gaining traction in the AI market. However, the dominance of ChatGPT remains clear, as it was the first chatbot in the race and is still widely recognized.
ChatGPT is better suited for augmentation, while Claude is better for automation. ChatGPT also has image-generation capabilities. Despite this, ChatGPT may not be OpenAI's most significant product, with Codex, their AI coding tool, leading the way.
