Vercel AI Gateway Finds Anthropic’s 2:1 Lead

Vercel’s November 2026 Production Index, based on anonymized traffic through October, finds Anthropic was the first-choice lab for new paid teams at nearly 2:1 over OpenAI. Decision models also captured 26% of gateway requests while accounting for only 0.53% of spend.

// ANALYSIS

Anthropic’s acquisition lead is significant, but the broader story is model choice fragmenting by workload, price, and team maturity.

–Mature teams are nearly split: OpenAI reached 55% and Anthropic 54% of teams tracked since December.
–OpenAI’s gateway spend share rose to 14.5%, while Anthropic still led at 32.2%, suggesting OpenAI is gaining high-value production workloads.
–Decision models show how cheap specialized inference can reshape routing economics: Jev handled nearly four times Anthropic’s requests, yet Anthropic captured 64 times its spend.
–Model loyalty is weakening, with teams rapidly switching to newer releases and often changing labs.
–Voice adoption rose sharply, signaling that production AI stacks are expanding beyond text generation.
