Apple’s approach makes sense because Foundation Models may not be available for every user, even on a supported device.
The app should use Apple’s on-device model when it is available, but it should still offer some useful functionality when it is not. For an AI app, that could mean falling back to a cloud model. This avoids users downloading an app only to find that its main feature does not work on their device.
