They both support it via plugins. Xcode doesn’t enable it by default, you need to enable it and sign into an account. It’s not really all that different.

You should install LuLu if you’re that concerned. There are far more nefarious ways of “getting your data”.

If you're worried about someone accessing your unlocked computer to install LLMs, you might need to rethink your security model.

They could install anything. Including Claude Code and then run it in background as agent to exfiltrate data. I'm a security professional. This is unacceptable

I think the parent commenter was pointing out that, instead of installing Claude Code, they could just install actual malware. It's like that phrase Raymond Chen always uses: "you're already on the other side of the airtight hatchway."

Local models and any OpenAI-compatible APIs are available to the Xcode Beta assistant. This is just a dedicated “sign in with x” rather than manual configuration.

Trust me, you wouldn’t want to use a model for agentic code editing that could fit on a Mac mini at this stage.

A 128GB Mac Mini M5 would be sweet.

Interesting to think about how Apple get to make product decisions based on Gatekeeper OCSP analytics now that every app launch phones home. They must know exactly how popular VSCode is.

Facebook got excoriated for doing that with Onavo but I guess it's Good Actually when it's done in the name of protecting my computer from myself lol

Agreed. Claude Code is an amazing experience with Jetbrains IDEs, but for some reason Xcode just hates having claude directly edit the files.

How do you use it with Jetbrains? Junie? Or just as a separate CLI session?

They might be referring to the plugin https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/27310-claude-code-beta-

It seems every IDE now has AI built-in. That's a problem if you're working on highly confidential code. You never know when the AI is going to upload code snippets to the server for analysis.

People working on highly confidential code will NOT have access to the public internet.

There is a gulf and many shades between "this code should never be on an internet-connected device" and "it doesn't matter if this code is copied everywhere by absolutely anyone".
