Why this is canonical

'Artifact exchange' names the transactional layer of AI development: the mechanism by which discrete AI artifacts move between producers and consumers, inside organizations and across them. On .ai, it places this function at the agent-era marketplace tier, where the exchange of model components and data objects is becoming a primary infrastructure surface.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI model and component marketplace
A platform where builders list, license, and acquire AI models, fine-tunes, and pipeline components.
AI marketplace and model hub builders
Enterprise data and artifact exchange
An internal or federated exchange layer for structured AI artifacts within and between enterprises.
Enterprise AI platform teams, data exchange builders
