They seem to be going after different markets, or at least having differing degrees of success in going after different markets.
OpenAI is most successful with consumer chat app (ChatGPT) market.
Anthropic is most successful with business API market.
OpenAI currently has a lot more revenue than Anthropic, but it's mostly from ChatGPT. For API use the revenue numbers of both companies are roughly the same. API success seems more important that chat apps since this will scale with success of the user's business, and this is really where the dream of an explosion in AI profits comes from.
ChatGPT's user base size vs that of Claude's app may be first mover advantage, or just brand recognition. I use Claude (both web based and iOS app), but still couldn't tell you if the chat product even has a name distinct from the model. How's that for poor branding?! OpenAI have put a lot of effort into the "her" voice interface, while Anthropic's app improvements are more business orientated in terms of artifacts (which OpenAI have now copied) and now code execution.
