Do I need an Apple Silicon Mac to use Agentic Coding in Xcode?

[wholowx3]

I have a late 2019 Intel MacBook Pro with a pretty impressive spec. It’s running the latest Sequoia release of 15.7.5. I’m curious about using the Agentic Coding features in Xcode. I’m using Xcode 26.3 on Sequoia, but I can’t find the Intelligence tab in Settings. I’m wondering if the agentic coding features, which utilize cloud models like Claude and Codex, require an Apple Silicon Mac. Alternatively, does my Mac, which supports Tahoe, need to be running Tahoe to access this option?
