Apple recently announced an AI partnership with Google<\/a>. But reporting indicates the company initially pursued deals with other companies, including Anthropic.<\/p>\n

Based on new comments from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, it’s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

Gurman, speaking on TBPN<\/a>, said the following:<\/p>\n

\n

Apple runs on Anthropic at this point. Anthropic is powering a lot of the stuff Apple is doing internally in terms of product development, a lot of their internal tools…They have custom versions of Claude running on their own servers internally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Apple accidentally left Claude.md files in today’s Apple Support app update (v5.13)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

That’s an odd way of phrasing it, because it makes it sound like the file is naturally in the app package and Apple forgot to delete it. But why was it being copied into the app<\/a> in the first place? (It seems to be related to building the app, not to using AI for customer support<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n

Aaron<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Apple has released an emergency update to the Apple Support app (v5.13.1) to remove the Claude.md files<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
