A New Era with Apple Intelligence on the Mac
Apple Intelligence harnesses the power of Apple Silicon and the Neural Engine to unlock new ways for users to work, communicate, and express themselves on Mac. It is available in U.S. English with macOS Sequoia 15.1.
Apple Intelligence protects users’ privacy at every step. At its core, is on-device processing, and for more complex tasks, Private Cloud Compute gives users access to Apple’s even larger, server-based models and offers groundbreaking protections for personal information.
In addition, users can access ChatGPT for free without creating an account, and privacy protections are built in-their IP addresses are obscured and OpenAI won’t store requests. For those who choose to connect their account, OpenAI’s data-use policies apply.
Writing Tools
Writing Tools can proofread your text and rewrite different versions until the tone and wording are just right, and summarize selected text with a click.
