Hey, I've been trying to write an AI agent for OpenAI's GPT-5, but using the @Generable Tool types from the FoundationModels framework, which is super awesome btw! I'm having trouble implementing the tool calling, though. When I receive a tool call from the OpenAI api, I do the following: Find the tool in my [any Tool] array via the tool name I get from the model if let tool = tools.first(where: { $0.name == functionCall.name }) { // ... } Parse the arguments of the tool call via GeneratedContent(json:) let generatedContent = try GeneratedContent(json: functionCall.arguments) Pass the tool and arguments to a function that calls tool.call(arguments: arguments) and returns the tool's output type private func execute<T: Tool>(_ tool: T, with generatedContent: GeneratedContent) async throws -> T.Output { let arguments = try T.Arguments.init(generatedContent) return try await tool.call(arguments: arguments) } Up to this point, everything is working as expected. However, the tool's output type is any PromptRepresentable and I have no idea how to turn that into something that I can encode and send back to the model. I assumed there might be a way to turn it into a GeneratedContent but there is no fitting initializer. Am I missing something or is this not supported? Without a way to return the output to an external provider, it wouldn't really be possible to use FoundationModels Tool type I think. That would be unfortunate because it's implemented so elegantly. Thanks!

Hi Apple product owners. I am missing a unified concept which might be derived from the use cases for mail categories and mail spam for the app "Mail" on Mac. I need a recommendation on how to use categories in combination with the spam filter to get most out of it. So I was looking for the use cases for the 2 functionality areas in order to figure out how to organise my mails by using as much automation as possible before I start creating intelligent folders in addition. What can you recommend where I get this information from? I don't want to guess or read a lot of forum contributions which are based on guesses.

For example: I have a list of to-dos, each with a unique id (a GUID). I want to feed them to the LLM model and have the model rewrite the items so they start with an action verb. I'd like to get them back and identify which rewritten item corresponds to which original item. I obviously can't compare the text, as it has changed. I've tried passing the original GUIDs in with each to-do, but the extra GUID characters pollutes the input and confuses the model. I've tried numbering them in order and adding an originalSortOrder field to my generable type, but it doesn't work reliably. Any suggestions? I could do them one at a time, but I also have a use case where I'm asking for them to be organized in sections, and while I've instructed the model not to rename anything, it still happens. It's just all very nondeterministic.

I'm using Xcode 26 Beta 5 and get errors on any generation I try, however harmless, when wrapped in the #Playground macro. #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() let topic = "pandas" let prompt = "Write a safe and respectful story about (topic)." let response = try await session.respond(to: prompt) Not seeing any issues on simulator or device. Anyone else seeing this or have any ideas? Thanks for any help! Version 26.0 beta 5 (17A5295f) macOS 26.0 Beta (25A5316i)

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm investigating Core ML model loading behavior and noticed that even when the compiled model path remains unchanged after an APP update, the first run still triggers an "uncached load" process. This seems to impact user experience with unnecessary delays. Question: Does Core ML provide any public API to check whether a compiled model (from a specific .mlmodelc path) is already cached in the system? If such API exists, we'd like to use it for pre-loading decision logic - only perform background pre-load when the model isn't cached. Has anyone encountered similar scenarios or found official solutions? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Encountered a few times when the answer get "stuck" (I am now at beta 6). This is an example.

I'm building a new feature with Visual Intelligence framework. My implementation for IndexedEntity and IntentValueQuery worked as expected and I can see a list of objects in visual search result. However, my OpenIntent doesn't work. When I tap on the object, I got a message on screen "Sorry somethinf went wrong ...". and the breakpoint in perform() is never triggered. Things I've tried: I added @MainActor before perform(), this didn't change anything I set static let openAppWhenRun: Bool = true and static var supportedModes: IntentModes = [.foreground(.immediate)], still nothing I created a different intent for the see more button at the end of feed. This AppIntent with schema: .visualIntelligence.semanticContentSearch worked, perform() is executed

I'm experimenting with downloading an audio file of spoken content, using the Speech framework to transcribe it, then using FoundationModels to clean up the formatting to add paragraph breaks and such. I have this code to do that cleanup: private func cleanupText(_ text: String) async throws -> String? { print("Cleaning up text of length \(text.count)...") let session = LanguageModelSession(instructions: "The content you read is a transcription of a speech. Separate it into paragraphs by adding newlines. Do not modify the content - only add newlines.") let response = try await session.respond(to: .init(text), generating: String.self) return response.content } The content length is about 29,000 characters. And I get this error: InferenceError::inferenceFailed::Failed to run inference: Context length of 4096 was exceeded during singleExtend.. Is 4096 a reference to a max input length? Or is this a bug? This is running on an M1 iPad Air, with iPadOS 26 Seed 1.

From tensorflow-metal example: Created TensorFlow device (/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0 with 0 MB memory) -> physical PluggableDevice (device: 0, name: METAL, pci bus id: ) I know that Apple silicon uses UMA, and that memory copies are typical of CUDA, but wouldn't the GPU memory still be faster overall? I have an iMac Pro with a Radeon Pro Vega 64 16 GB GPU and an Intel iMac with a Radeon Pro 5700 8 GB GPU. But using tensorflow-metal is still WAY faster than using the CPUs. Thanks for that. I am surprised the 5700 is twice as fast as the Vega though.

Hello, My app fully relies on the new Foundation Models. Since Foundation Models require Apple Intelligence, I want to ensure that only devices capable of running Apple Intelligence can install my app. When checking the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities property for a suitable value, I found that iphone-performance-gaming-tier seems the closest match. Based on my research: On iPhone, this effectively limits installation to iPhone 15 Pro or later. On iPad, it ensures M1 or newer devices. This exactly matches the hardware requirements for Apple Intelligence. However, after setting iphone-performance-gaming-tier, I noticed that on iPad, Game Mode (Game Overlay) is automatically activated, and my app is treated as a game. My questions are: Is there a more appropriate UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities value that would enforce the same Apple Intelligence hardware requirements without triggering Game Mode? If not, is there another way to restrict installation to devices meeting Apple Intelligence requirements? Is there a way to prevent Game Mode from appearing for my app while still using this capability restriction? Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm a bit new to the LLM stuff and with Foundation Models. My understanding is that there is a token limit of around 4K. I want to process the contents of files which may be quite large. I first tried going the Tool route but that didn't work out so I then tried manually chunking the text to keep things under the limit. It mostly works except that every now and then it'll exceed the limit. This happens even when the chunks are less than 100 characters. Instructions themselves are about 500 characters but still overall, well below 1000 characters per prompt, all told, which, in my limited understanding, should not result in 4K tokens being parsed. Any ideas on what is going on here?

Hello, We have been encountering a persistent crash in our application, which is deployed exclusively on iPad devices.

Hello, I was successfully able to compile TKDKid1000/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v0.3-CoreML using Core ML, and it's working well. However, I’m now trying to compile the same model using Swift Transformers. With the limited documentation available on the swift-chat and Hugging Face repositories, I’m finding it difficult to understand the correct process for compiling a model via Swift Transformers. I attempted the following approach, but I’m fairly certain it’s not the recommended or correct method. Could someone guide me on the proper way to compile and use models like TinyLlama with Swift Transformers? Any official workflow, example, or best practice would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! This is the approach I have used: import Foundation import CoreML import Tokenizers @main struct HopeApp { static func main() async { print(" Running custom decoder loop...") do { let tokenizer = try await AutoTokenizer.from(pretrained: "PY007/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v0.3") var inputIds = tokenizer("this is the test of the prompt") print("🧠 Prompt token IDs:", inputIds) let model = try float16_model(configuration: .init()) let maxTokens = 30 for _ in 0..<maxTokens { let input = try MLMultiArray(shape: [1, 128], dataType: .int32) let mask = try MLMultiArray(shape: [1, 128], dataType: .int32) for i in 0..<inputIds.count { input[i] = NSNumber(value: inputIds[i]) mask[i] = 1 } for i in inputIds.count..<128 { input[i] = 0 mask[i] = 0 } let output = try model.prediction(input_ids: input, attention_mask: mask) let logits = output.logits // shape: [1, seqLen, vocabSize] let lastIndex = inputIds.count - 1 let lastLogitsStart = lastIndex * 32003 // vocab size = 32003 var nextToken = 0 var maxLogit: Float32 = -Float.greatestFiniteMagnitude for i in 0..<32003 { let logit = logits[lastLogitsStart + i].floatValue if logit > maxLogit { maxLogit = logit nextToken = i } } inputIds.append(nextToken) if nextToken == 32002 { break } let partialText = try await tokenizer.decode(tokens:inputIds) print(partialText) } } catch { print("❌ Error: \(error)") } } }

Was just wondering why the foundation model documentation is no longer available, thanks! https://developer.apple.com/documentation/FoundationModels

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."

v3 was released 2 years ago but developers are unable to convert models created with Keras v3 to CoreML

With respond() methods, the foundation model works well enough. With streamResponse() methods, the responses are very repetitive, verbose, and messy. My app with foundation model uses more than 500 MB memory on an iPad Pro when running from Xcode. Devices supporting Apple Intelligence have at least 8GB memory. Should Apple use a bigger model (using 3 ~ 4 GB memory) for better stream responses?

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm working on a C++ project using TensorFlow Lite and was wondering if anyone has a prebuilt TensorFlow Lite C++ library (libtensorflowlite) for macOS (Apple Silicon M1/M2) that they’d be willing to share. I’m looking specifically for the TensorFlow Lite C++ API — something that lets me use tflite::Interpreter, tflite::FlatBufferModel, etc. Building it from source using Bazel on macOS has been quite challenging and time-consuming, so a ready-to-use .dylib or .a build along with the required headers would be incredibly helpful. TensorFlow Lite version: v2.18.0 preferred Target: macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon) What I need: libtensorflowlite.dylib or .a Corresponding headers (ideally organized in a clean include/ folder) If you have one available or know where I can find a reliable prebuilt version, I’d be super grateful. Thanks in advance! 🙏

I'm the creator of an app that helps users learn Arabic. Inside of the app users can save words, engage in lessons specific to certain grammar concepts etc. I'm looking for a way for Siri to 'suggest' my app when the user asks to define any Arabic words. There are other questions that I would like for Siri to suggest my app for, but I figure that's a good start. What framework am I looking for here? I think AppItents? I remember I played with it for a bit last year but didn't get far. Any suggestions would be great. Would the new Foundations model be any help here?
