Claude API
One measured enterprise-LLM market: Anthropic's usage share reached 40% at end-2025 while Google's held near 21% — and Vertex is Google's cloud-platform route to that market, against Anthropic's direct API.
Anthropic holds a dominant lead over its AI rivals when it comes to enterprise large language model usage. The AI research lab holds a 40% market share, according to a December report from VC firm Menlo Ventures (which, it should be noted, has invested aggressively in Anthropic). In July, the startup’s market share was estimated to be 32%. Google’s Gemini adoption has been steadier, according to Menlo Ventures. The company released its enterprise product last fall and has seen its enterprise LLM usage market share largely stay the same, per Menlo’s findings, growing from 20% in July to 21% at the end of the year. OpenAI on the other hand has seen its usage market share drop from 50% in 2023 to 27% at the end of 2025 — a trend that appears to concern the company.

OpenAI API
One measured enterprise-LLM market: OpenAI's usage share fell from 50% in 2023 to 27% at end-2025 while Google's grew to 21% — a former leader losing ground to a hyperscaler platform.

Cohere Platform
Both sell enterprise LLM access in Menlo's measured market; Google's 21% of spend against Cohere's slice of the 12% tail — a hyperscaler platform against a standalone model API.
We estimate Anthropic now earns 40% of enterprise LLM spend, up from 24% last year and 12% in 2023. Over the same period, OpenAI lost nearly half of its enterprise share, falling to 27% from 50% in 2023. Google also saw significant gains, increasing its enterprise share from 7% in 2023 to 21% in 2025. Together, these three companies account for 88% of enterprise LLM API usage, with the remaining 12% spread across Meta’s Llama, Cohere, Mistral, and a long tail of smaller providers.
