Xcode gets agentic coding with Claude and Codex built in. Plus open-source coding models, a managed SQLite database, and macOS sandboxing for TUI apps.
Anthropic dominates the news cycle — ad-free pledge with a Super Bowl spot, and a wake-up call that rattled software stocks. Meanwhile, open-source models keep closing the gap.
