Note: Apple Intelligence is not available on all Mac models or in all languages or regions.** To access the most recent available features, make sure you’re using the latest version of macOS and have Apple Intelligence turned on.

You can choose from three models:
On-Device: Uses the on-device Apple Intelligence model to handle simple requests without the need for a network connection.
Private Cloud Compute: Uses Apple’s Private Cloud Compute to handle complex requests while protecting your privacy.
Extension Model: Uses ChatGPT to handle your requests.
