OpenAI and Anthropic have both raised enterprise floor pricing inside the same fortnight. OpenAI lifted ChatGPT Enterprise minimums by roughly 28 per cent on 4 April, with the new floor applying to fresh contracts and renewals from May. Anthropic followed on 14 April with a roughly 22 per cent increase to Claude Enterprise minimums and a tighter committed-spend tier replacing the old pay-as-you-grow option. The published rationales differ. OpenAI cited inference cost and capacity allocation. Anthropic cited expanded enterprise feature set, including Sydney-based contracting. The pattern, however, is not coincidence. Both vendors are signalling pricing power for the first time since launch. Demand for production-grade enterprise AI is firm, frontier capacity is constrained, and the era of pilot-budget seats is ending. Two practical takeaways for procurement and finance leaders. If your renewal lands within the next ninety days, lock terms now before the floor moves again. If your team is still on a pilot SKU, model the production-tier number into your 2026 budget this week. The benchmark just shifted. *TheAICommand. Intelligence, At Your Command.*
