Eric Siu switched back to OpenAI after using Claude, arguing that Anthropic's current lead won't hold. He compares Claude Teams and ChatGPT 5.5, weighing speed, cost, and capability as the AI market shifts between providers.
because Neil, one thing I'll say to you is that I have actually switched back to OpenAI. Months ago, I was talking about Claude, everyone was talking about Claude, everyone was talking about Opus, even the guy I had the AI conversation with this morning were like, oh, we switched over to Codex, and I hope my team isn't listening to this, but here's what I'll say. So wait, why don't you want your team to listen to this? Because they're all on Claude Teams, right? It'll be a pain in the ass to switch them, so I'll tell you what, CTO, OpenAI, I'm on OpenAI, okay, even though I pay for Claude Teams, but Codex, It is the shit right now, pardon my language, but everyone that's serious right now is back on 5.5, ChatGPT 5.5, and I'm just saying this tug of war is happening all the time, so we might say Anthropic's ahead right now and they have the mindshare, but I wouldn't be surprised if OpenAI just takes it right back, and I wouldn't be surprised if Google comes out of nowhere and just kicks both of their butts.
