Is there an API that allows iOS app developers to leverage Apple Foundation Models to authorize a user's Apple Intelligence extension, chatGPT login account? I'm trying to provide a real-time question feature for chatGPT, a logged-in extension account, while leveraging Apple Intelligence's LLM. Is there an API that also affects the extension login account?

I am working on an app using FoundationModels to process web pages. I am looking to find ways to filter the input to fit within the token limits. I have unit tests, UI tests and the app running on an iPad in the simulator. It appears that the different configurations of the test environment seems to affect the token limits. That is, the same input in a unit test and UI test will hit different token limits. Is this correct? Or is this an artifact of my test tooling?

Using Tensorflow for Silicon gives inaccurate results when compared to Google Colab GPU (9-15% differences). Here are my install versions for 4 anaconda env's.

In working with Apple's foundation models, we often want to provide as much context as possible. However, since the model has a context size limit of 4096 tokens, is there a way to estimate the number of tokens beforehand?

Hi, I'm looking for the best way to use MLX models, particularly those I've fine-tuned, within a React Native application on iOS devices. Is there a recommended integration path or specific API for bridging MLX's capabilities to React Native for deployment on iPhones and iPads?

In macOS Tahoe 26.2 an RDMA capability was added for Thunderbolt-5 interfaces. This has been demonstrated to significantly decrease the latency and maintain bandwidth for "clustered" Apple Silicon devices with TB5. What is the ideal and the maximum RDMA burst width for transfers over RDMA-enabled Thunderbolt-5 interfaces?

I have an app that stores lots of data that is of interest to the user. Analogies would be the Photos apps or the Health app. I'm trying to use the Foundation Models framework to allow users to surface information they find interesting using natural language, for example, "Tell me about the widgets from yesterday" or "Tell me about the widgets for the last 3 days". Specifically, I'm trying to get a date range passed down to the Tool so that I can pull the relevant widgets from the database in the call function. What is the right way to set up the Arguments to get at a date range?

Hi For certain tasks, such as qualitative analysis or tagging, it is advisable to provide the AI with the option to respond with a joker / wild card answer when it encounters difficulties in tagging or scoring. For instance, you can include this slot in the prompt as follows: output must be "not data to score" when there isn't information to score. In the absence of these types of slots, AI trends to provide a solution even when there is insufficient information. Foundations Models are told to be prompted with simple prompts. I wonder: Is recommended keep this slot though adds verbose complexity? Is the best place the comment of a guided attribute? other tips? Another use case is when you want the AI to be tied to the information provided in the prompt and not take information from its data set. What is the best approach to this purpose? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Hi, I'm trying to use the new RecognizeDocumentsRequest from the Vision Framework to read a receipt. It looks very promising by being able to read paragraphs, lines and detect data. So far it unfortunately seems to read every line on the receipt as a paragraph and when there is more space on one line it creates two paragraphs. Is there perhaps an Apple Engineer who knows if this is expected behaviour or if I should file a Feedback for this? Code setup: let request = RecognizeDocumentsRequest() let observations = try await request.perform(on: image) guard let document = observations.first?.document else { return } for paragraph in document.paragraphs { print(paragraph.transcript) for data in paragraph.detectedData { switch data.match.details { case .phoneNumber(let data): print("Phone: \(data)") case .postalAddress(let data): print("Postal: \(data)") case .calendarEvent(let data): print("Calendar: \(data)") case .moneyAmount(let data): print("Money: \(data)") case .measurement(let data): print("Measurement: \(data)") default: continue } } } See attached image as an example of a receipt I'd like to parse. The top 3 lines are the name, street, and postal code + city. These are all separate paragraphs. Checking on detectedData does see the street (2nd line) as PostalAddress, but not the complete address. Might that be a location thing since it's a Dutch address. And lower on the receipt it sees the block with "Pomp 1 95 Ongelood" and the things below also as separate paragraphs. First picking up the left side and after that the right side. So it's something like this: * Pomp 1 Volume Prijs € TOTAAL * BTW Netto 21.00 % 95 Ongelood 41,90 l 1.949/ 1 81.66 € 14.17 67.49

Has Apple made any commitment to versioning the Foundation Models on device? What if you build a feature that works great on 26.0 but they change the model or guardrails in 26.1 and it breaks your feature, is your only recourse filing Feedback or pulling the feature from the app? Will there be a way to specify a model version like in all of the server based LLM provider APIs? If not, sounds risky to build on.

When I ran the following code on a physical iPhone device that supports Apple Intelligence, I encountered the following error log. What does this internal error code mean? Image generation failed with NSError in a different domain: Error Domain=ImagePlaygroundInternal.ImageGeneration.GenerationError Code=11 “(null)”, returning a generic error instead let imageCreator = try await ImageCreator() let style = imageCreator.availableStyles.first ?? .animation let stream = imageCreator.images(for: [.text("cat")], style: style, limit: 1) for try await result in stream { // error: ImagePlayground.ImageCreator.Error.creationFailed _ = result.cgImage }

Hello, I'm using videotoolbox superresolution API in MACOS 26: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videotoolbox/vtsuperresolutionscalerconfiguration/downloadconfigurationmodel(completionhandler:)?language=objc, when using swift, it's ok, when using objective-c, I get error when downloading model with downloadConfigurationModelWithCompletionHandler: [Auto] MA-auto{_failedLockContent} | failure reported by server | error:[com.apple.MobileAssetError.AutoAsset:MissingReference(6111)] [Auto] MA-auto{_failedLockContent} | failure reported by server | error:[com.apple.MobileAssetError.AutoAsset:UnderlyingError(6107)_1_com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download:47] Download completion handler called with error: The operation couldnxe2x80x99t be completed.

I opened a new project, iOS app, in XCode and then tabbed into the system_search snippet and built the project and got a build error. I can't imagine this was intended, at least not for new developers to the ecosystem like me. I solved it by tweaking a configuration I don't really understand advised here: https://github.com/apple/swift-openapi-generator/issues/796, hopefully that's a valid workaround

When using Foundation Models, is it possible to ask the model to produce output in a specific language, apart from giving an instruction like "Provide answers in ." ? (I tried that and it kind of worked, but it seems fragile.) I haven't noticed an API to do so and have a use-case where the output should be in a user-selectable language that is not the current system language.

I'm working on a to-do list app that uses SpeechTranscriber and Foundation Models framework to transcribe a user's voice into text and create to-do items based off of it. After about 30 minutes looking at my code, I couldn't figure out why I was failing to generate a to-do for "I need to go to Six Flags Great America tomorrow at 3pm." It turns out, I was consistently firing the Foundation Models's safety filter violation for unsafe content ("May contain unsafe content"). Lesson learned: consider comprehensively logging Foundation Models error states to quickly identify when safety filters are unexpectedly triggered.

I'd love to add a feature based on FoundationModels to the Mac Catalyst version of my iOS app. Unfortunately I get an error when importing FoundationModels: No such module 'FoundationModels'. Documentation says Mac Catalyst is supported: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels I can create iOS builds using the FoundationModels framework without issues. Hope this will be fixed soon! Config: Xcode 26.0 beta (17A5241e) macOS 26.0 Beta (25A5279m) 15-inch, M4, 2025 MacBook Air

I am calling into an app extension from a Safari Web Extension (sendNativeMessage, which in turn results in a call to NSExtensionRequestHandling’s beginRequest). My Safari extension aims to make use of the new foundation models for some of the features it provides. In my testing, I hit the rate limit by sending 4 requests, waiting 30 seconds between each. This makes the FoundationModels framework (which would otherwise serve my use case perfectly well) unusable in this context, because the model is called in response to user input, and this rate of user input is perfectly plausible in a real world scenario. The error thrown as a result of the rate limit is “Safety guardrail was triggered after consecutive failures during streaming.", but looking at the system logs in Console.app shows the rate limit as the real culprit. My suggestions: Please introduce sensible rate limits for app extensions, through an entitlement if need be. If it is rate limited to 1 request per every couple of seconds, that would already fix the issue for me. Please document the rate limit. Please make the thrown error reflect that it is the result of a rate limit and not a generic guardrail violation. IMPORTANT: please indicate in the thrown error when it is safe to try again. Filed a feedback here: FB18332004

After watching the What's new in App Intents session I'm attempting to create an intent conforming to URLRepresentableIntent. The video states that so long as my AppEntity conforms to URLRepresentableEntity I should not have to provide a perform method . My application will be launched automatically and passed the appropriate URL. This seems to work in that my application is launched and is passed a URL, but the URL is in the form: FeatureEntity/{id}. Am I missing something, or is there a trick that enables it to pass along the URL specified in the AppEntity itself? struct MyExampleIntent: OpenIntent, URLRepresentableIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Open Feature" static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Open \(\.$target)") } @Parameter(title: "My feature", description: "The feature to open.") var target: FeatureEntity } struct FeatureEntity: AppEntity { // ... } extension FeatureEntity: URLRepresentableEntity { static var urlRepresentation: URLRepresentation { "https://myurl.com/\(.id)" } }

Hi everyone, I’m currently using macOS Version 15.3 Beta (24D5034f), and I’m encountering an issue with Apple Intelligence. The image generation tools seem to work fine, but everything else shows a message saying that it’s “not available at this time.” I’ve tried restarting my Mac and double-checked my settings, but the problem persists. Is anyone else experiencing this issue on the beta version? Are there any fixes or settings I might be overlooking? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

We are trying to implement a custom encryption scheme for our Core ML models. Our goal is to bundle encrypted models, decrypt them into memory at runtime, and instantiate the MLModel without the unencrypted model file ever touching the disk. We have looked into the native apple encryption described here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreml/encrypting-a-model-in-your-app but it has limitations like not working on intel macs, without SIP, and doesn’t work loading from dylib. It seems like most of the Core ML APIs require a file path, there is MLModelAsset APIs but I think they just write a modelc back to disk when compiling but can’t find any information confirming that (also concerned that this seems to be an older API, and means we need to compile at runtime). I am aware that the native encryption will be much more secure but would like not to have the models in readable text on disk. Does anyone know if this is possible or any alternatives to try to obfuscate the Core ML models, thanks
