01Dominant workloads
Software engineering assistance remains the most visible category: code generation, review, migration and increasingly multi-step agentic tasks executed with limited supervision.
Beyond engineering, common deployments include contract and document analysis, customer operations triage, and retrieval-based internal knowledge assistants.
02Why buyers select one provider over another
Enterprise selection tends to turn on a small number of factors: benchmark and in-house evaluation performance on the buyer's own tasks, price per unit of output, data handling and residency terms, availability through an existing cloud contract, and vendor stability.
Availability through AWS, Google Cloud and Azure marketplaces removes procurement friction, which is a genuine structural advantage for Anthropic.
03The competitive reality
Switching costs at the model layer are lower than in traditional enterprise software. Many buyers deliberately route across multiple providers. That caps pricing power even where capability leads.
