Apple and Anthropic reportedly partner to build an AI coding platform

Apple and Anthropic are teaming up to build a “vibe-coding” software platform that will use generative AI to write, edit, and test code for programmers, Bloomberg reported on Friday.

The iPhone maker is planning to roll out the software internally, according to Bloomberg, but hasn’t decided if it will launch it publicly. The system is a new version of Apple’s programming software, Xcode, and relies on Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet model, according to the report.

To accelerate its AI efforts, Apple seems to be tapping a network of partners. OpenAI’s ChatGPT already helps power the company’s Apple Intelligence features, and Google’s Gemini may be added as an alternative option in the future, Apple has indicated. Now Anthropic may help Apple write code internally.

Among developers, the latest Claude models from Anthropic are particularly popular for coding tasks, especially on vibe coding platforms such as Cursor and Windsurf.
