Anthropic launches Claude Marketplace, giving enterprises access to Claude-powered tools from Replit, GitLab, Harvey and more San Francisco startup Anthropic continues to ship new AI products and services at a blistering pace, despite a messy ongoing dispute with the U.S. Department of War.
Today, the company announced Claude Marketplace, a new offering that lets enterprises with an existing Anthropic spend commitment apply part of it toward tools and applications powered by Anthropic's Claude models but made and offered by external partners including GitLab, Harvey, Lovable, Replit, Rogo and Snowflake.
According to Anthropic’s Claude Marketplace FAQ, the program is designed to simplify procurement and consolidate AI spend. Anthropic says the Marketplace is now in limited preview and that enterprises interested in using it should reach out to their Anthropic account team to get started.
For customers interested in the Marketplace, Anthropic says purchases made through it “count against a portion of your existing Anthropic commitment,” and that the company will manage invoicing for partner spend — meaning enterprises can use part of their existing Anthropic commitment to buy Claude-powered partner solutions without separately handling partner invoicing.
In effect, Anthropic is positioning Claude Marketplace as a more centralized way for enterprises to procure certain Claude-powered partner tools.
Yet, the whole point of Anthropic's Claude Code and Claude Cowork applications for many users was that they could shift enterprise spend and time away from current third-party software-as-a-service (Saas) apps and instead, they could "vibe code" new solutions or bespoke, AI-powered workflows. This idea is so pervasive that prior Claude integrations have on several recent occasions caused a major selloff in SaaS stocks after investors thought Claude could threaten the underlying companies and applications. Claude Marketplace seems to be pushing against that idea, suggesting current SaaS apps are still valuable and perhaps even more useful and appealing to enterprises with Claude integrated into them.
The launch raises a broader question about how enterprises will choose to use Claude: directly through Anthropic’s own products and APIs, or through third-party applications that embed Claude for more specialized workflows.
Tool integration
Model and chat platforms have always sought to offer integrations, aiming to cut the time users spend building their app versions.
OpenAI added third-party apps into ChatGPT and launched a new App Directory in December 2025. This brought in offerings from companies such as Canva, Expedia and Figma that users can invoke by using "@" mentions while prompting on the chatbot.
However, three months in, it’s unclear exactly how many people use ChatGPT Apps, particularly in enterprises — will Claude's Marketplace be able achieve more success here, given rising enterprise adoption of Claude and Anthropic products?
ChatGPT’s focus in its integrated apps was on retail and individual consumer-focused tasks rather than the enterprise more broadly, but t

Valve says it still plans to ship the Steam Machine in 2026 A blog post from Valve on Friday initially seemed to throw cold water on the idea that the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller would arrive in 2026 at all. But Valve tells The Verge it did not mean to suggest that - and that all three pieces of hardware will indeed ship this year, despite challenges from the ongoing memory shortage.
Earlier today, Valve wrote that "we hope to ship in 2026," which sounded like a downgrade from Valve's earlier promises. As recently as last month, the company explicitly said it had not changed its plans to ship all three new hardware products "in the first half of the year," even though that its …
