Latest Development: The introduction of Xcode 26, accompanied by the integration of GPT-5 and Claude.
In a significant move for developers, Apple has integrated OpenAI's GPT-5 into the seventh beta of Xcode 26 as a coding assistant. This integration is made possible through the collaboration with Anthropic, the company behind the paid coding assistant Claude, which is now available within Xcode.
The new coding assistant, based on Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 model, promises fast and high-quality results, as stated by Apple. This feature is exclusive to members of Apple's Developer Program.
However, it's important to note that Claude requires an account, even under Sequoia, and users must enter their paid account details with Anthropic to access it. The Reasoning model of GPT-5 runs at the "Low" Reasoning level in Xcode, and while it may not offer the full reasoning power, it should work with the ChatGPT app for macOS.
Interestingly, Xcode 26 Beta 7 can be tested in a virtual machine with macOS Tahoe. However, users may find that the limit of free requests is immediately reached without writing code in the virtual machine.
It's worth mentioning that GPT-5 is intended to replace the previously used GPT-4.1 in the ChatGPT-based assistant in Xcode. While the integration of Opus 4 has not been confirmed, there is an option to switch back to GPT-4.1 in the future.
However, the use of GPT-5 in programming has not been without controversy. It's essential for developers to consider the implications and potential benefits carefully when deciding to use this new tool.
To access Claude in Xcode, developers can find it via the "Intelligence Settings" panel. It's also available within the virtual machine.
In conclusion, the integration of GPT-5 into Xcode 26 Beta 7 marks a significant step forward in the use of AI in programming, offering developers a powerful new tool to aid in their coding efforts.
