Anthropic is facing renewed pressure from the Trump administration, which demanded restrictions on access to its latest advanced AI models and effectively pushed the company to pull them from the market. Business spending data from Ramp suggests the dispute may boost Anthropic’s appeal, with the company recently surpassing OpenAI in business AI subscription share and seeing strong adoption of its Claude models.

Anthropic has surpassed OpenAI in business spending market share for the first time, despite an ongoing feud with the Trump administration that led to the removal of its latest AI models from the market. The company’s defiance of government demands—including a ban on non-American access to its advanced models—appears to have bolstered its reputation, with sales data suggesting the controversy may actually boost its adoption. While the financial impact of pulling its newest models remains unclear, business spending on Anthropic’s existing models, particularly Claude Opus, continues to grow.
