I'm adding Visual Intelligence support to my app, and now want to add a Tip using TipKit to guide users to this feature from within my app. I want to add a Rule to my Tip which will only show this Tip on devices where Visual Intelligence is supported (ex. not iPhone 14 Pro Max). What is the best way for me to determine availability to set this TipKit rule? Here's the documentation I'm following for Visual Intelligence: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visualintelligence/integrating-your-app-with-visual-intelligence

I have managed to configure Apple Intelligence in Xcode to access my deployed models in Azure AI Foundry. However, when I would try to chat with the selected model, I get the following error: Message from Azure OpenAI: Failed request due to: bad request Additional context: {"error": {"code": "BadRequest", "message": "Response API v1 is in GA, please use remove api-version or use api-version=latest."}} Is there a way to remove v1 from the endpoint used or to define an explicit api-version? Or do I have to change my deployment in Azure AI Foundry?

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?

Hi, I am a new IOS developer, trying to learn to integrate the Apple Foundation Model. my set up is: Mac M1 Pro MacOS 26 Beta Version 26.0 beta 3 Apple Intelligence & Siri --> On here is the code, func generate() { Task { isGenerating = true output = "⏳ Thinking..." do { let session = LanguageModelSession( instructions: """ Extract time from a message. Example Q: Golfing at 6PM A: 6PM """) let response = try await session.respond(to: "Go to gym at 7PM") output = response.content } catch { output = "❌ Error:, \(error)" print(output) } isGenerating = false } and I get these errors guardrailViolation(FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context(debugDescription: "Prompt may contain sensitive or unsafe content", underlyingErrors: [Asset com.apple.gm.safety_embedding_deny.all not found in Model Catalog])) Can you help me get through this?

After installing ios26 beta 7 developer on my iPhone 16e, I can’t see anymore the toggle to activate apple intelligence on my phone under settings->apple intelligence. could you please explain how to activate it ? Many thanks,

I have a fairly basic prompt I've created that parses a list of locations out of a string. I've then created a tool, which for these locations, finds their latitude/longitude on a map and populates that in the response. However, I cannot get the language model session to see/use my tool. I have code like this passing the tool to my prompt: class Parser { func populate(locations: String, latitude: Double, longitude: Double) async { let findLatLonTool = FindLatLonTool(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude) let session = LanguageModelSession(tools: [findLatLonTool]) { """ A prompt that populates a model with a list of locations. """ """ Use the findLatLon tool to populate the latitude and longitude for the name of each location. """ } let stream = session.streamResponse(to: "Parse these locations: \(locations)", generating: ParsedLocations.self) let locationsModel = LocationsModels(); do { for try await partialParsedLocations in stream { locationsModel.parsedLocations = partialParsedLocations.content } } catch { print("Error parsing") } } } And then the tool that looks something like this: import Foundation import FoundationModels import MapKit struct FindLatLonTool: Tool { typealias Output = GeneratedContent let name = "findLatLon" let description = "Find the latitude / longitude of a location for a place name." let latitude: Double let longitude: Double @Generable struct Arguments { @Guide(description: "This is the location name to look up.") let locationName: String } func call(arguments: Arguments) async throws -> GeneratedContent { let request = MKLocalSearch.Request() request.naturalLanguageQuery = arguments.locationName request.region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude), latitudinalMeters: 1_000_000, longitudinalMeters: 1_000_000 ) let search = MKLocalSearch(request: request) let coordinate = try await search.start().mapItems.first?.location.coordinate if let coordinate = coordinate { return GeneratedContent( LatLonModel(latitude: coordinate.latitude, longitude: coordinate.longitude) ) } return GeneratedContent("Location was not found - no latitude / longitude is available.") } } But trying a bunch of different prompts has not triggered the tool - instead, what appear to be totally random locations are filled in my resulting model and at no point does a breakpoint hit my tool code. Has anybody successfully gotten a tool to be called?

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.

Cross-posting this from https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/795707 per ask from DTS Engineer: Is there any way to ensure iOS apps we develop using Foundation Models can only be purchasable/downloadable on App Store by folks with capable devices? I would've thought there would be a Required Capabilities that App Store would hook into for Apple Intelligence-capable devices, but I don't seem to see it in the documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information-property-list/uirequireddevicecapabilities The closest seems to be iphone-performance-gaming-tier as that seems to target all M1 and above chips on iPhone & iPad. There is an ipad-minimum-performance-m1 that would more reasonably seem to ensure Foundation Models is likely available, but that doesn't help with iPhone. So far, it seems the only path would be to set Minimum Deployment to iOS 26 and add iphone-performance-gaming-tier as a required capability, but I'm a bit worried that capability might diverge in the future from what's Foundation Model / Apple Intelligence capable since we're really wanting the devices with Apple Neural Engine sufficient for Apple Intelligence features in the SDKs (like Foundaton Models, Image Playgrounds, Audio Transcription, etc.) While I understand for the majority of apps they'll want to just selectively add in Apple Intelligence features and so can be usable by folks whose devices don't support it, the app experience I'm building doesn't make sense without the Foundation Models being available and I'd rather not have a large number of users downloading the app to be told "Sorry, your device is not capable of Apple Intelligence and so can't use this app" I've created a Feedback Assistant ticket tracking the question/ask here: FB19366221

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 }

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.

I'm attempting to run a basic Foundation Model prototype in Xcode 26, but I'm getting the error below, using the iPhone 16 simulator with iOS 26. Should these models be working yet? Do I need to be running macOS 26 for these to work? (I hope that's not it) Error: Passing along Model Catalog error: Error Domain=com.apple.UnifiedAssetFramework Code=5000 "There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.MobileAsset.UAF.FM.Overrides" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.MobileAsset.UAF.FM.Overrides} in response to ExecuteRequest Playground to reproduce: #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() do { let response = try await session.respond(to: "What's happening?") } catch { let error = error } }

When I use the FoundationModel framework to generate long text, it will always hit an error. "Passing along Client rate limit exceeded, try again later in response to ExecuteRequest" And stop generating. eg. for the prompt "Write a long story", it will almost certainly hit that error after 17 seconds of generation. do{ let session = LanguageModelSession() let prompt: String = "Write a long story" let response = try await session.respond(to: prompt) }catch{} If possible, I want to know how to prevent that error or at least how to handle it.

I downloaded iOS 26 beta 3. I was very happy with how it turned out, but when I activated Siri, I noticed the rainbow pulsing glow that bordered the phone was missing, and all that was left was the original Siri bubble. I was very disappointed, does anyone know how to get this back? I loved that design feature.

According to the Tool documentation, the arguments to the tool are specified as a static struct type T, which is given to tool.call(argument: T) However, if the arguments are not known until runtime, is it possible to still create a Tool object with the proper parameters? Let's say a JSON-style dictionary is passed into the Tool init function to specify T, is this achievable?

Apologies if this is obvious to everyone but me... I'm using the Tahoe AI foundation models. When I get an error, I'm trying to handle it properly. I see the errors described here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels/languagemodelsession/generationerror/context, as well as in the headers. But all I can figure out how to see is error.localizedDescription which doesn't give me much to go on. For example, an error's description is: The operation couldn’t be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError error 2. That doesn't give me much to go on. How do I get the actual error number/enum value out of this, short of parsing that text to look for the int at the end? This one is: case guardrailViolation(LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context) So I'd like to know how to get from the catch for session.respond to something I can act on. I feel like it's there, but I'm missing it. Thanks!

Greetings, Ive been exerimenting with the new Apple intelligence chat. I want to be able to use my custom LLM and I made that work (I can chat back and forward from the left panel with my server) but I cannot find out how to change the editor contents like chatgpt does. chatgpt is able to change the current editor and, seems like, all files in the pbx. I tried to catch the call with charles with no success. In the OpenIA platform docs it doesnt mention anything that could change the code shown. does anyone know how to achieve this? Is the apple intelliece documentation lacking this features and will it be completed soon? will this features even be open for developers?

I have a MacBook Pro M3 Pro with 18GB of RAM and was following the instructions to fine tune the foundational model given here: https://developer.apple.com/apple-intelligence/foundation-models-adapter/ However, while following the code sample in the example Jupyter notebook, my Mac hangs on the second code cell. Specifically: from examples.generate import generate_content, GenerationConfiguration from examples.data import Message output = generate_content( [[ Message.from_system("A conversation between a user and a helpful assistant. Taking the role as a play writer assistant for a kids' play."), Message.from_user("Write a script about penguins.") ]], GenerationConfiguration(temperature=0.0, max_new_tokens=128) ) output[0].response After some debugging, I was getting the following error: RuntimeError: MPS backend out of memory (MPS allocated: 22.64 GB, other allocations: 5.78 MB, max allowed: 22.64 GB). Tried to allocate 52.00 MB on private pool. Use PYTORCH_MPS_HIGH_WATERMARK_RATIO=0.0 to disable upper limit for memory allocations (may cause system failure). So is my machine not capable enough to adapter train Apple's Foundation Model? And if so, what's the recommended spec and could this be specified somewhere? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m currently exploring the use of Foundation models on Apple platforms to build a chatbot-style assistant within an app. While the integration part is straightforward using the new FoundationModel APIs, I’m trying to figure out how to control the assistant’s responses more tightly — particularly: Ensuring the assistant adheres to a specific tone, context, or domain (e.g. hospitality, healthcare, etc.) Preventing hallucinations or unrelated outputs Constraining responses based on app-specific rules, structured data, or recent interactions I’ve experimented with prompt, systemMessage, and few-shot examples to steer outputs, but even with carefully generated prompts, the model occasionally produces incorrect or out-of-scope responses. Additionally, when using multiple tools, I'm unsure how best to structure the setup so the model can select the correct pathway/tool and respond appropriately. Is there a recommended approach to guiding the model's decision-making when several tools or structured contexts are involved? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts or being pointed toward related WWDC sessions, Apple docs, or sample projects.

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.
