OpenAI, Anthropic cut AI fees in a row as it gets harder to keep users

OpenAI and Anthropic have repeatedly cut large language model usage fees from the summer through autumn of 2026, amid low user switching costs and price competition with open-weight models. Data scientist Max Woolf said the trend shows a market structure in which it is hard to lock users into a specific model. Usage data from Vercel AI Gateway showed frequent model changes. Providers also cited lower supply costs from technical improvements.
