Problem: We trained a LoRA adapter for Apple's FoundationModels framework using their TAMM (Training Adapter for Model Modification) toolkit v0.2.0 on macOS 26 beta 4. The adapter trains successfully but fails to load with: "Adapter is not compatible with the current system base model." TAMM 2.0 contains export/constants.py with: BASE_SIGNATURE = "9799725ff8e851184037110b422d891ad3b92ec1" Findings: Adapter Export Process: In export_fmadapter.py def write_metadata(...): self_dict[MetadataKeys.BASE_SIGNATURE] = BASE_SIGNATURE # Hardcoded value The Compatibility Check: - When loading an adapter, Apple's system compares the adapter's baseModelSignature with the current system model - If they don't match: compatibleAdapterNotFound error - The error doesn't reveal the expected signature Questions: - How is BASE_SIGNATURE derived from the base model? - Is it SHA-1 of base-model.pt or some other computation? - Can we compute the correct signature for beta 4? - Or do we need Apple to release TAMM v0.3.0 with updated signature?

Is there anywhere we can reference error codes? I'm getting this error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError error 4.)" and I have no idea of what it means or what to attempt to fix.

Hello folks! Taking a look at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels it’s not clear how to use another models there. Do anyone knows if it’s possible use one trained model from outside (imported) here in foundation models framework? Thanks!

Hi i'm curently crating a model to identify car plates (object detection) i use asitop to monitor my macbook pro and i see that only the cpu is used for the training and i wanted to know why

I followed below url for converting Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model but always fails even i have 64GB of free space after downloading model from huggingface. https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/core-ml-on-device-llama Also tried with other models Llama-3.1-1B-Instruct & Llama-3.1-3B-Instruct models those are converted but while doing performance test in xcode fails for all compunits. Is there any source code to run llama models in ios app.

I’m keep looking around documentation and some sample codes but still haven’t found example of how was used this type of Network Regressor . Does it take some special parameters to perform on ANE , what size,format of DataFrame ?

I have rewatched WWDC22 a few times , but still not getting full understanding how to get .mlmodel model file type from components . Example with banana ripeness is cool , but what need to be added to actually have output of .mlmodel , is somewhere full sample code for this type of modular project ? Code is from [https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10019) import CoreImage import CreateMLComponents struct ImageRegressor { static let trainingDataURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "~/Desktop/bananas") static let parametersURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "~/Desktop/parameters") static func train() async throws -> some Transformer<CIImage, Float> { let estimator = ImageFeaturePrint() .appending(LinearRegressor()) // File name example: banana-5.jpg let data = try AnnotatedFiles(labeledByNamesAt: trainingDataURL, separator: "-", index: 1, type: .image) .mapFeatures(ImageReader.read) .mapAnnotations({ Float($0)! }) let (training, validation) = data.randomSplit(by: 0.8) let transformer = try await estimator.fitted(to: training, validateOn: validation) try estimator.write(transformer, to: parametersURL) return transformer } } I have tried to run it in Mac OS command line type app, Swift-UI but most what I had as output was .pkg with "pipeline.json, parameters, optimizer.json, optimizer"

I have reinstalled everything including command line tools but the CreateML frameworks fail to install, I need the framework so that I can train my auto-categorzation model which predicts category based on descriptions. I need that framework because I want to use reviision 4. please suggest advice on how do I proceed

I am trying to run TinyLlama directly using Swift Playgrounds for iOS. I have tried multiple solutions, like libraries (LLM.swift, swift-transformers, ...) which never worked due to import issues, and also tried importing an exported mlmodel. For the later, I followed the article about Llama 3.1 on CoreML. It was hard to understand how to do the inference with it, but I was able to export a mlpackage, that I then placed in a xcode project to generate the mlmodelc (compiled model) and the model class. I had to go with the first version described in the article, without optimizations, as I got errors during model loading with the flexible input shapes. I was able to run the model for one token generation. But my biggest problem is that, though the mlmodelc is only 550 MiB, th model loads 24+GiB of memory, largely exceeding what I can have on an iOS device. Is there a way to use do LLM inferences on Swift Playgrounds at a reasonable speed (even 1 token / s would be sufficient)?

Hey everyone, I am a beginner with developing and using Artificial Intelligence models. How do I integrate my createML image classification with swift. I already have have an ML model and I want to integrate it into a swiftUI app. If anyone could help, that would be great. Thank you, O3DP

import coremltools as ct from coremltools.models.neural_network import quantization_utils # load full precision model model_fp32 = ct.models.MLModel(modelPath) model_fp16 = quantization_utils.quantize_weights(model_fp32, nbits=16) model_fp16.save("reduced-model.mlmodel") I'm testing it with the model from one of Apple's source codes(GameBoardDetector), and it works fine, reduces the model size by half. But there are several problems with my model(trained on CreateML app using Full Network): Quantizing to float 16 does not work(new file gets created with reduced only 0.1mb). Quantizing to below 16 values cause errors, and no file gets created. Here are additional metadata and precisions of models.

It appears that there is a size limit when training the Tabular Classification model in CreatML. When the training data is small, the training process completes smoothly after a specified period. However, as the data volume increases, the following issues occur: initially, the training process indicates that it is in progress, but after approximately 24 hours, it is automatically terminated after an hour. I am certain that this is not a manual termination by myself or others, but rather an automatic termination by the machine. This issue persists despite numerous attempts, and the only message displayed is “Training Canceled.” I would appreciate it if someone could explain the reason behind this behavior and provide a solution. Thank you for your assistance.

I am currently training a Tabular Classification model in CreatML. The dataset comprises 30 features, including 1,000,000 training data points and 1,000,000 verification data points. Could you please estimate the approximate training time for an M4Max MacBook Pro? During the training process, CreatML has been displaying the “Processing” status, but there is no progress bar. I would like to ascertain whether the training is still ongoing, as I have often suspected that it has ceased.

I'm using Numbers to build a spreadsheet that I'm exporting as a CSV. I then import this file into Create ML to train a word tagger model. Everything has been working fine for all the models I've trained so far, but now I'm coming across a use case that has been breaking the import process: commas within the training data. This is a case that none of Apple's examples show. My project takes Navajo text that has been tokenized by syllables and labels the parts-of-speech. Case that works... Raw text: Naaltsoos yídéeshtah. Tokens column: Naal,tsoos, ,yí,déesh,tah,. Labels column: NObj,NObj,Space,Verb,Verb,VStem,Punct Case that breaks...

That's where this gets complicated. For this particular use case (which seems like it would frequently arise when training a word tagger model), how should I properly escape a comma literal?

FB:FB16079804 Hello, I've made the FastAI's Cat vs Dog model into model that distinguishes lemons from limes and it all works fine in a notebook.

Hello, I’m attempting to convert a TensorFlow model to CoreML using the coremltools package, but I’m encountering an error during the conversion process. The error traceback points to an issue within the Cast operation in the MIL (Model Intermediate Layer) when it tries to perform type inference: AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'astype' Here is the relevant part of the error traceback: File ~/.pyenv/versions/3.10.12/lib/python3.10/site-packages/coremltools/converters/mil/mil/ops/defs/iOS15/elementwise_unary.py", line 896, in get_cast_value return input_var.val.astype(dtype=type_map[dtype_val]) I’ve tried converting a model from the yamnet-tensorflow2 repository, and this error occurs when CoreML tries to cast a float type during the conversion of certain operations. I’m currently using Python 3.10 and coremltools version 6.0.1, with TensorFlow 2.x. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can offer suggestions on how to resolve this? I’ve also considered that this might be related to mismatches in the model’s data types, but I’m not sure how to proceed.

I am developing with Apple Vision Pro to implement object tracking functionality, but each model needs to go into Create ML for training, and the training time is very long. Are there other ways to shorten training time while obtaining reference files in the same format? Additionally, can the delay in object tracking be further optimized? Although the refresh rate has been optimized, there is still a noticeable delay.

Hello All, I'm developing a machine learning model for image classification, which requires managing an exceptionally large dataset comprising over 18,000 classes. I've encountered several hurdles while using Create ML, and I would appreciate any insights or advice from those who have faced similar challenges. Current Issues: Create ML Failures with Large Datasets: When using Create ML, the process often fails with errors such as "Failed to create CVPixelBufferPool." This issue appears when handling particularly large volumes of data. Custom Implementation Struggles: To bypass some of the limitations of Create ML, I've developed a custom solution leveraging the MLImageClassifier within the CreateML framework in my own SwiftUI MacOS app. Initially I had similar errors as I did in Create ML, but I discovered I could move beyond the "extracting features" stage without crashing by employing a workaround: using a timer to cancel and restart the job every 30 seconds. This method is the only way I've been able to finish the extraction phase, even with large datasets, but it causes many errors in the console if I allow it to run too long. Lack of Progress Reporting: Using MLJob<MLImageClassifier>, I've noticed that progress reporting stalls after the feature extraction phase. Although system resources indicate activity, there is no programmatic feedback on what is occurring. Things I've Tried: Data Validation: Ensured that all images in the dataset are valid and non-corrupted, which helps prevent unnecessary issues from faulty data. Custom Implementation with CreateML Framework: Developed a custom solution using the MLImageClassifier within the CreateML framework to gain more control over the training process. Timer-Based Workaround: Employed a workaround using a timer to cancel and restart the job every 30 seconds to move past the "extracting features" phase, allowing progress even with larger datasets. Monitoring System Resources: Observed ongoing system resource usage when process feedback stalled, confirming background processing activity despite the lack of progress reporting. Subset Testing: Successfully created and tested a model on a subset of the data, which validated the approach worked for smaller datasets and could produce a functioning model. Router Model Concept: Considered training multiple models for different subsets of data and implementing a "router" model to decide which specialized model to utilize based on input characteristics. What I Need Help With: Handling Large Datasets: I'm seeking strategies or best practices for effectively utilizing Create ML with large datasets. Any guidance on memory management or alternative methodologies would be immensely helpful. Improving Progress Reporting: I'm looking for ways to obtain more consistent and programmatic progress updates during the training and testing phases. I'm working on a Mac M1 Pro w/ 32GB RAM, with Apple Silicon and am fully integrated within the Apple ecosystem. I am very grateful for any advice or experiences you could share to help overcome these challenges. Thank you! I've pasted the relevant code below: func go() { if self.trainingSession == nil { self.trainingSession = createTrainingSession() } if self.startTime == nil { self.startTime = Date() } job = try! MLImageClassifier.resume(self.trainingSession) job.phase .receive(on: RunLoop.main) .sink { phase in self.phase = phase } .store(in: &cancellables) job.checkpoints .receive(on: RunLoop.main) .sink { checkpoint in self.state = "\(checkpoint)\n\(self.job.progress)" self.progress = self.job.progress.fractionCompleted + 0.2 self.updateTimeEstimates() } .store(in: &cancellables) job.result .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main) .sink(receiveCompletion: { completion in switch completion { case .failure(let error): print("Training Failed: \(error.localizedDescription)") case .finished: print("🎉🎉🎉🎉 TRAINING SESSION FINISHED!!!!") self.trainingFinished = true } }, receiveValue: { classifier in Task { await self.saveModel(classifier) } }) .store(in: &cancellables) } private func createTrainingSession() -> MLTrainingSession<MLImageClassifier> { do { print("Initializing training Data...") let trainingData: MLImageClassifier.DataSource = .labeledDirectories(at: trainingDataURL) let modelParameters = MLImageClassifier.ModelParameters( validation: .split(strategy: .automatic), augmentation: self.augmentations, algorithm: .transferLearning( featureExtractor: .scenePrint(revision: 2), classifier: .logisticRegressor ) ) let sessionParameters = MLTrainingSessionParameters( sessionDirectory: self.sessionDirectoryURL, reportInterval: 1, checkpointInterval: 100, iterations: self.numberOfIterations ) print("Initializing training session...") let trainingSession: MLTrainingSession<MLImageClassifier> if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: self.sessionDirectoryURL.path) && isSessionCreated(atPath: self.sessionDirectoryURL.path()) { do { trainingSession = try MLImageClassifier.restoreTrainingSession(sessionParameters: sessionParameters) } catch { print("error resuming, exiting.... \(error.localizedDescription)") fatalError() } } else { trainingSession = try MLImageClassifier.makeTrainingSession( trainingData: trainingData, parameters: modelParameters, sessionParameters: sessionParameters ) } return trainingSession } catch { print("Failed to initialize training session: \(error.localizedDescription)") fatalError() } }

Hi Apple Developer Community, I’m exploring ways to fine-tune the SNSoundClassifier to allow users of my iOS app to personalize the model by adding custom sounds or adjusting predictions. While Apple’s WWDC session on sound classification explains how to train from scratch, I’m specifically interested in using SNSoundClassifier as the base model and building/fine-tuning on top of it. Here are a few questions I have: 1. Fine-Tuning on SNSoundClassifier: Is there a way to fine-tune this model programmatically through APIs? The manual approach using macOS, as shown in this documentation is clear, but how can it be done dynamically - within the app for users or in a cloud backend (AWS/iCloud)? Are there APIs or classes that support such on-device/cloud-based fine-tuning or incremental learning? If not directly, can the classifier’s embeddings be used to train a lightweight custom layer? Training is likely computationally intensive and drains too much on battery, doing it on cloud can be right way but need the right apis to get this done. A sample code will do good. 2. Recommended Approach for In-App Model Customization: If SNSoundClassifier doesn’t support fine-tuning, would transfer learning on models like MobileNetV2, YAMNet, OpenL3, or FastViT be more suitable? Given these models (SNSoundClassifier, MobileNetV2, YAMNet, OpenL3, FastViT), which one would be best for accuracy and performance/efficiency on iOS? I aim to maintain real-time performance without sacrificing battery life. Also it is important to see architecture retention and accuracy after conversion to CoreML model. 3. Cost-Effective Backend Setup for Training: Mac EC2 instances on AWS have a 24-hour minimum billing, which can become expensive for limited user requests. Are there better alternatives for deploying and training models on user request when s/he uploads files (training data)? 4. TensorFlow vs PyTorch: Between TensorFlow and PyTorch, which framework would you recommend for iOS Core ML integration? TensorFlow Lite offers mobile-optimized models, but I’m also curious about PyTorch’s performance when converted to Core ML. 5. Metrics: Metrics I have in mind while picking the model are these: Publisher, Accuracy, Fine-Tuning capability, Real-Time/Live use, Suitability of iPhone 16, Architectural retention after coreML conversion, Reasons for unsuitability, Recommended use case. Any insights or recommended approaches would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
