Anthropic’s Claude has become the most-used artificial intelligence model among US tech professionals, overtaking OpenAI’s ChatGPT in day-to-day work, according to a new workplace survey.
A poll conducted by Blind, an anonymous professional community, finds that 31% of US-based tech workers reported Claude as their primary AI model at work, making it the single most-used option among respondents.
ChatGPT ranks second at 19%, followed by Gemini at 15%, GitHub Copilot at 14%, and Cursor at 11%, according to results shared with The Dallas Express.
The survey was conducted on December 16 and 17, 2025, and included responses from 1,215 verified US professionals, most of whom identified as software engineers. Blind says respondents primarily use AI tools for coding, debugging and system design.
The findings suggest Claude’s adoption is strong even inside companies developing competing AI systems. Among Meta employees who participated, 50% said Claude was their most-used AI model, compared with just 8% who selected Meta’s own AI tools. At Microsoft, 34% of respondents reported using Claude most often, narrowly ahead of Microsoft’s Copilot at 32%.
But the pattern is not universal. Google employees overwhelmingly favored Gemini, with 57% selecting it as their top model, while 23% chose Claude. At Amazon, Claude again dominated, with 54% of respondents naming it their primary AI tool, far ahead of ChatGPT at 15% and Gemini at 11%.
Blind says the results highlight a growing gap between corporate AI strategies and employee preferences. Respondents were allowed to select multiple models, reflecting what Blind described as a reality where different tools are used for different tasks. According to user feedback summarized by Blind, Claude is often preferred for coding-heavy work, while ChatGPT is more commonly used for document editing and simpler problem-solving.
