"As a high-level description, Swift is an ahead-of-time compiled, memory-safe, multi-paradigm programming language. Swift uses reference counting for memory management instead of garbage collection, and has recently added support for limited lifetime analysis. Finally, Swift leans heavily on types with value semantics by leveraging copy-on-write. This enables powerful local reasoning, as value types are either mutable or shared, but not both."
"Private Cloud Compute allows Apple Intelligence to flex and scale its computational capacity and draw on even larger server-based models for more complex requests, while protecting user privacy. These models run on servers we have especially created using Apple Silicon. These Apple Silicon servers offer the privacy and security of your iPhone from the silicon on up, draw on the security properties of the Swift programming language, and run software with transparency built in."
Swift was introduced in 2014 as a fast, modern, safety-oriented language enabling interactivity and development. Swift is an ahead-of-time compiled, memory-safe, multi-paradigm language that uses reference counting for memory management and has added limited lifetime analysis. Swift emphasizes value semantics and copy-on-write to enable local reasoning where value types are either mutable or shared but not both. Swift is widely used for application development on Apple platforms and has been employed for server-side services for over eight years. Apple and the community use Swift to build services including Vapor, iCloud Keychain, App Store pipelines, and Private Cloud Compute, which runs on custom Apple Silicon servers to extend capacity, leverage Swift's security properties, and protect user privacy.
