69% of enterprises that install OpenAI's agent platform make it primary. For Anthropic's Claude Platform it's 38%

Key Points:

• According to August VB Pulse data, 69% of enterprises using OpenAI's agent platform designate it as their primary orchestration platform, compared to only 38% for Anthropic's Claude Platform, indicating stronger enterprise commitment to building on OpenAI.
• OpenAI leads in primary platform adoption with 33% of enterprises naming it primary, followed by Google at 24% and Anthropic at 11%, though Anthropic shows the highest ratio of consideration relative to current use, suggesting a strong pipeline for future adoption.
• The primary orchestration platform matters as it controls multi-step AI agent workflows; 26% of enterprises expect this control plane to be provider-managed by 2026, but inflexibility across models and vendor lock-in remain key concerns.
• Widely cited spending data from OpenRouter and Ramp reflect different user populations and do not distinguish between trial usage and core platform adoption, highlighting limitations in interpreting which AI model providers dominate enterprise use.
• Overall, OpenAI holds a stronger current primary-platform position among users, while Anthropic has greater consideration for future adoption; 60% of enterprises plan to adopt or change agent orchestration platforms within 12 months, making forthcoming shifts critical to watch.
