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.

Anthropic Claude: How to use the impressive ChatGPT rival

Though it may not capture as many headlines as its rivals from Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI do, Anthropic's Claude is no less powerful than its frontier model peers.

In fact, the latest version, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, has proven more than a match for Gemini and ChatGPT across a number of industry benchmarks. In this guide, you'll learn what Claude is, what it can do best, and how you can get the most out of using this quietly capable chatbot.
What is Claude?
Like Gemini, Copilot, and ChatGPT, Claude is a large language model (LLM) that relies on algorithms to predict the next word in a sentence based on its enormous corpus of training material.

Google announced via a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that SynthID is now available to anybody who wants to try it. The authentication system for AI-generated content embeds imperceptible watermarks into generated images, video, and text, enabling users to verify whether a piece of content was made by humans or machines.

“We’re open-sourcing our SynthID Text watermarking tool,” the company wrote. “Available freely to developers and businesses, it will help them identify their AI-generated content.”

Anthropic's already impressive Claude 3.5 Sonnet gains a significant performance boost on Tuesday as the generative AI startup rolls out an enhanced and updated version of the model alongside the new, lightweight Claude 3.5 Haiku. The Sonnet update includes a public beta feature that gives the AI basic control over the computer it's running on.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet was already a performance leader when it comes to coding tasks, but the new version shows significant across-the-board improvements over its predecessor and steadily outperforms both Gemini 1.5 and GPT-4o on a variety of industry benchmarks. Gemini 1.5 Pro was the only model to best the new 3.5 Sonnet on any test, and did so on the MATH benchmark.
