Apple introduced a significant enhancement to code prediction in Xcode 16, powered by a unique model specifically trained for Swift and Apple SDKs. This new engine can predict the code you need by using your project symbols to customize suggestions. It runs locally on your Mac, ensuring your code remains private and providing fast results, even when offline. This feature is part of a broader initiative to infuse Xcode with generative models, marking a new chapter in development tools.

Additionally, Xcode 16 introduces Swiftassist, a cloud-based companion for coding tasks that can answer coding questions and help with tasks like experimenting with new APIs. Swiftassist is designed to enhance productivity by transforming ideas into code using natural language.
