This is unfortunate

AI chat in Xcode seems to be gated by region

Is there a list of regions somewhere?

@softmaus yes. Separate bootable SSD plugged in via USB-C

@jaanus afair it needs Apple Intelligence enabled to work and sadly, that’s not allowed for external disks.

@softmaus interesting

Is this documented anywhere?

@jaanus Sorry, I can't remember where I read it. I assumed it to be true because it was the same for Xcode's predictive code completion last year.

@softmaus yeah anyway that would explain why neither Xcode AI nor new Foundation Models are not working for me 😕

@jaanus Same for me. Maybe https://gist.github.com/Willian-Zhang/c34861d2010414bd972f48d32d8d7006 will get updated soon. I'm not yet willing to install Tahoe to an APFS container on the internal volume.

@jaanus Seems like we’re probably out of luck https://tauri.earth/@AliveDevil/114670981611351500

@felix_schwarz@mastodon.social Probably direct NVMe/PCIe GPU memory mapped storage. Doesn't work with USB-C?

@softmaus thank you

That makes sense, I guess

It is unfortunate that AFAIK there is zero information from Apple on these requirements
