The move highlights a trend among AI labs: shifting from just providing models to offering services that make them more like cloud providers.

With Claude Code now supporting artifacts, enterprises can turn what they create with Claude Code into shareable, updatable visual pages.
Using Claude Code and artifacts, developers can build an artifact using the full context of a user session, including the codebase, connectors and conversation. Each artifact is private to the author until it is shared with approved members. Artifacts come after OpenAI introduced Sites for Codex, which enables users to build, host and deploy interactive web applications.
Anthropic’s introduction of artifacts, on June 18, along with Sites for Codex, underscores how AI model providers continue to expand their services, offering enterprises features that cloud providers also provide, such as hosting and managing websites. By providing these services, AI labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI are, in a sense, becoming mini cloud providers.
