Xcode + Claude
Apple is working with Anthropic on an updated version of Xcode that will support AI code writing, editing, and testing, reports Bloomberg. Anthropic is best known for its “Claude” large language model and chatbot that competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Claude is well-known for its coding capabilities, beating out other LLMs on programming tasks.
The new version of Xcode integrates the Claude Sonnet model, and Apple is slowly rolling it out internally for employees to use.
Wrote a nice Mac menu bar app complete with CI in ~3h vibe coding. Claude is currently checking CI and fixing itself.
Yeah lies, ended up working all day on it and making it wayyyy better. The last 5% always take as long as the first 95%.

lol
This is good news.
Anthropic is a far better partner for Apple than OpenAI. OpenAI has ethics problems, marketing problems (ie: too much of it), and business model problems (ie: not enough of one).
OpenAI is the spritual Tesla of AI (in a bad way) - even more so than Grok, which is impressive, since Grok is the literal Tesla of AI.
Anthropic has problems (ie: the Google connection), but fewer.
The best thing Apple could do is severe all contact with OpenAI, and farm all their floundering AI features out to Anthropic.
Yep. This is really good news. Claude has been a very nice model to core and review stuff in VS Code for me.
