looks like it is not "Private iCloud Compute" at all.
Anthropic literally says "Requests go directly from your app to the Claude API; Apple is not in the request path and does not see prompts or responses." — Apple straight up lied
No, that post is about Claude for Foundation Models. That is not the same as Apple Intelligence.
the Swift package for Claude for Foundation Models is about sending calls to Claude. That had nothing to do with Apples models which do use local models and models on Private Cloud Compute.
Your accusation that "Apple straight up lied" is based on misunderstanding TFA.
this is a blurry line. when factual statements are so confusing (deliberately? we well never know), there is not much difference between lie and technically-turth ful misdirection. harm is done. ill-intent is likely present.
you can burry "facts" into thousands pages long T&C (apple is infamous for) nobody reads. and claim "you agreed to that!". nobody does, nobody did. technically this is correct and truthful, but harmful ill-intent against user pulling power to corporate entity as much as it can.
same here, apple would "technically" not lie, but annouce their products and build their API confusing to their advantage (upselling features that do not exit).
when you have to fight over word definitions, it is a red flag.
