How to disable `IntelligencePlatformComputeService.xpc` in Sonoma 14.7
According to Google's AI search result - there IS NO IntelligencePlatformCompute at all, so there are no instructions on how to remove it.
The IntelligencePlatformCompute.framework is a core system framework related to Apple Intelligence features, which are new to macOS Sequoia (15) and not present in macOS Sonoma (14.7). Therefore, there are no standard user-facing settings to disable this specific framework in macOS Sonoma 14.7.
I'm using `Sonoma 14.7.6 (23H626)` and clearly, I see it:
$ ps -ef
501 48935 51806 1 0 11:22AM 11:44AM ?? 0:00.36 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IntelligencePlatformCompute.framework/Versions/A/XPCServices/IntelligencePlatformComputeService.xpc/Contents/MacOS/IntelligencePlatformComputeService
1) Please explain what it does ?
2) how to disable it ?
Thanks
Since the user ( you ) have presented some work done by an AI / LMM Model
This does open things up
This is from another AL / LMM Model
" There is no supported or safe way to “disable IntelligencePlatformComputeService.xpc” individually.
This is a built-in system XPC service used by macOS for internal intelligence/compute tasks and Apple does not provide a user-facing switch to turn it off.
What IntelligencePlatformComputeService.xpc is
- It’s an internal XPC service inside IntelligencePlatformCompute.framework used by macOS for background intelligence/compute work (likely tied to Apple Intelligence/PCC type functionality).
- Users occasionally see crash logs or activity from it, but it’s not a user-service designed to be toggled off. Apple Support Community
Why you can’t disable it directly
- XPC services are low-level components of macOS and aren’t like LaunchAgents/Daemons that you can just unload with launchctl. They’re invoked by the system when needed. Ask Different
- There’s no official toggle in System Settings or a supported config profile to individually disable these microservices. "
