Apple is partnering with startup Anthropic PBC to launch a 'vibe-coding' software platform that leverages AI to streamline coding tasks, an upgrade to Apple’s Xcode programming software.
This new platform will utilize Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet model for autonomously writing, editing, and testing code for developers.
Apple aims to improve its internal workflow by speeding up and modernizing product development using AI, similar to other companies like Windsurf and Anysphere which offer AI coding assistants.
The partnership with Anthropic indicates Apple's openness to collaborate with external sources to enhance its technology, in contrast to its previous focus on developing its own tools.
