Anthropic announced Tuesday that the Artifact feature it first previewed for Claude Pro users in June is now rolling out to all of the chatbot’s users, regardless of their subscription level.

Whether you’re accessing Claude through the web or either of its mobile apps, you’ll be able to view and create Artifacts, according to the announcement post.

Today, we're making Artifacts available for all Claude users. You can now also create and view Artifacts on the Claude iOS and Android apps.

Since launching in preview in June, tens of millions of Artifacts have been created. But where did it all begin?

Artifacts essentially act as live previews of certain kinds of content that Claude can generate. They allow the chatbot to “share substantial, standalone content with you in a dedicated window separate from the main conversation.” These can be things like large documents, code snippets, single-page HTML websites, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images, diagrams, and flowcharts — generally, content you’ll iterate upon, then take from the conversation and use elsewhere.

The company points to using the system to create architecture diagrams from codebases or generate interactive prototypes and visualizations to aid in rapid prototyping as potential use cases. Artifact creates “a dynamic workspace where they can see, edit, and build upon Claude’s creations in real time, seamlessly integrating AI-generated content into their projects and workflows,” the Anthropic team claims.

While Artifacts are now available to users on the Free, Pro, and Teams tiers, how you can share your creations will differ slightly depending on what level you subscribe to. Free and Pro users can publish their Artifacts publicly and allow other users to remix and republish the work. Teams users, on the other hand, will exist in walled gardens where they can share their Artifacts in Projects and only their teammates can access them. You can try Artifacts for yourself on the Claude Android app, iOS app, and website.

AI’s chip hunger could keep memory prices painfully high for years
Memory shortages may haunt your next phone, laptop, and GPU for years
Crucial Memory and SSD

While recent reports claimed that memory prices may not fall till 2027, it seems like the memory chip crunch isn't a short-term headache. And that's bad news for anyone hoping phone, laptop, and GPU prices will get cheaper again soon.

Reuters reports that SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won said the global chip wafer shortage is likely to last until 2030, with artificial intelligence demand continuing to outpace the supply. Chey said the current shortage could remain above 20%, largely because AI systems require huge amounts of high-bandwidth memory and therefore burn through a lot of wafers.

One of the most controversial US agencies is reportedly taste-testing Anthropic uber-powerful Mythos AI
The agency's reported use of Mythos highlights a widening split inside the US government over AI risk

The US government's AI fight just got harder to square. The National Security Agency is reportedly using Anthropic's Mythos Preview even as senior Pentagon officials keep pushing to cut the company off over supply chain concerns. It shows how quickly real security needs can outrun official policy.

Since February, the Defense Department has been trying to block Anthropic and push vendors to do the same. Yet, according to an Axios report, the NSA appears to be moving ahead with one of the company's most powerful models anyway, suggesting cybersecurity demand is carrying more weight than the feud now playing out inside government.

At its annual content showcase in Beijing, founder and CEO Gong Yu announced that iQiyi is pivoting its popular streaming platform into a social media destination built around AI-generated content.
