OpenAI and Anthropic Compete for Open Source Developers' Attention

The open source world is buzzing with the recent announcements from Anthropic and OpenAI, two giants in artificial intelligence. On February 27, Anthropic unveiled an enticing offer: six months of free access to Claude Max for maintainers of open source projects that meet certain popularity criteria. These criteria include having more than 5,000 stars on GitHub or over 1 million NPM downloads.

OpenAI Joins the Fray with ChatGPT Pro

In response, OpenAI launched a similar offer, providing ChatGPT Pro for free for six months. This offer, which also includes access to Codex and "conditional access to Codex security," is aimed at the primary maintainers of open source projects. Although the monthly cost of ChatGPT Pro is $200, OpenAI hopes to attract influential developers without specifying strict metrics like those from Anthropic.

Vague but Strategic Eligibility Criteria

Unlike Anthropic, OpenAI has not defined specific criteria to qualify for this offer. However, the application form requires information about the project's popularity and significance within the open source ecosystem, such as GitHub stars and monthly downloads. This flexible approach could allow OpenAI to reach a broader and more diverse audience of developers.
