What it is

Apple's counterpart to Google-Extended: a robots.txt token that withdraws consent for Apple Intelligence and Apple foundation-model training, without touching Applebot's search crawl.

What blocking it costs you

Excluded from Apple Intelligence training. Siri, Spotlight and Safari suggestions are unaffected.
