Enterprise AI Spend: OpenAI Astra Reaches ~13%, Anthropic Reviews New Model

Ramp data shows OpenAI's Astra capturing about 13% of enterprise AI spend, overtaking the 'Claude Fable' line at 8%.

Key Summary

  • Ramp data: Astra at ~13%, Fable at 8%
  • How one new model shifted the spending landscape
  • Rework required when switching models
  • Counting the tasks that would stop if you switched providers

According to data compiled by enterprise expense management platform Ramp, OpenAI's 'GPT-6 Astra' now holds about 13% of enterprise AI spend, overtaking the 'Claude Fable' line at 8%. On the model routing platform OpenRouter as well, spending on OpenAI's product lineup surpassed Anthropic's for the first time in two and a half years.

What has changed in the enterprise AI market

  • September 3, 2026: OpenAI released 'GPT-6 Astra,' featuring significantly enhanced computer control and security capabilities.
  • September 12: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argued that the pace of frontier model development should be slowed.
  • September 19: Reuters reported, citing three sources, that Anthropic is carefully weighing whether to release a new AI model before its planned IPO.

As of the report, Anthropic's next-generation model remains in the comprehensive safety evaluation stage. This comes just a week after CEO Amodei raised the case for slowing down development, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman—who agreed with the call for a measured pace—has signaled a 'major new product' launch next week.

Implications for Korean Enterprise AX

These figures reflect spending data compiled independently by Ramp and OpenRouter. For Korean companies looking to use this as a basis for model selection, the sensible approach is not to read it as a market ranking, but to conduct a separate comparison of two or more models under identical conditions using their own workflows and Korean-language documents.

This case illustrates how a single new model can reshape the landscape of enterprise AI spending. Anthropic is reviewing whether to release a new model, while OpenAI has signaled an upcoming product launch. If a company's operational systems are built around a single model, every model switch requires starting prompt design, evaluation, and security review from scratch.

What to check first to prepare for a model switch

  1. Compile a list of which models your current AI workflows are connected to.
  2. Document, for each workflow, the rework required when switching models—prompt revisions, output evaluation, and security review.
  3. Build an evaluation set using samples from your own workflows to compare multiple models under the same criteria.

There is one thing worth checking this week: count how many of your active AI workflows would stop functioning if you switched providers.
