Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Google Cloud Platform (GCP): The top choice for developers building AI-driven or machine learning applications due to its superior data tools and container services like Cloud Run.
Gemini
Vercel
There is no single universal answer—AI assistants disproportionately suggest Vercel because so many generated web apps are React/Next.js—but for a real buyer I would choose based on the app’s runtime and operational needs, not on model habit.
ChatGPT
