Switching LLM providers as a company is even easier than a solo developer, most companies I know are using AWS Bedrock and selecting another model is basically just a checkbox for them

I guess what I’m saying is that means AWS is their provider then

Indeed, and I think AWS is in a perfect position to consolidate the entreprise market rather than Anthropic here, they already have the rest of the server stack so this is just another addition.

The fact that Claude is available through bedrock also reveals in my opinion the weakness of Anthropic, they felt they had no choice to reach the entreprise market.

I agree but want to point out they will also see far lower margins and it won't be the type of business that Anthropic is pitching.

As far as I know, our corporate has deals with all of them: Anthropic, OpenAI and GitHub Copilot.

They stroke a great discount deal with all, so different teams/departments have different provider, and those using Copilot are even free to switch between models as they please (although with lower usage limits).

You could make the argument that it's not worth switching SAAS providers for enterprises when the costs were like 10 dollars a month per developer and switchign would require 1 team to work for half a year... but with AI providers it's more like paying 1000 dollars a month per developer vs paying 200 dollars if you strike a good deal with different provider and swtiching costs are more like 4 to 8 hours of work for each developer.

Or LiteLLM and switching providers is just super easy.
