Hi, To avoid installing the beta as the base OS on my work machine, I installed it on a virtual machine running on Virtual Buddy (itself running on Sequoia). However, it doesn't seem appear to be possible to turn on Apple Intelligence on Tahoe running on a VM, and the Foundation Models availability reports as .deviceNotEligible. It does report as .available when running on the iOS simulator inside the VM, but I get the same error as the original poster. Is there any way to use Apple Intelligence, and therefore the new Foundation Models, on Tahoe running on a VM? Thank you, Miguel Arroz

Apparently this was a code signing problem. Things weren't exactly matching between app, framework and service, and that caused the failure.

Apparently the error shows up on the logs if you have a floor in the scene with reflectivity 0. Bumping it to something as small as 0.01 prevents the bogus error from being logged.
