Apple also hosts a copy of Claude internally in their servers.

Do they? As in Claude but on premises? Wonder if this is gonna be the solution that e.g. banks will require, exactly like they do now for cloud services (e.g. Azure on premises).
Banks are all about security theatre so probably not.
Pretty extreme solution… you can get Claude models from AWS Bedrock and Google Model Zoo. These are both very helpful for compliance and security, but do require you to have a cloud strategy.
Some data is so sensitive it likely has to stay on premises though.
That's why banks use Azure on Premises (not sure if other providers offer the same, but the investment bank I worked at did)
Yeah, albeit an increasingly second-rate experience, at least when it comes to Bedrock.
source?

edit: it seems asking for a source it frowned uppon in this site. And it seems there's no source.

I don't believe it's published anywhere, but it's common knowledge to Apple engineers. I can second the poster's assertion that they run Claude internally.
I know they use it, they host it too?

That would be a very Apple thing to do.

Yeah that's why I asked. It would be one thing to use, another to host.

And it seems nobody has a source so it's just humors as usual.

Yes, they host it on their own infrastructure.
Makes sense. I’m sure they have no interest in every Claude prompt going to Anthropic to keep eyes on what Apple is up to.
> That would be a very Apple thing to do.

That's something Steve Jobs would have done.

I don’t know about hosting it internally but a an Apple focused podcast I listen to (Accidental Tech Podcast) has mentioned numerous times in the last few months they’re using Claude heavily. And they know Apple insiders.
