How reliable is the Models, to use as a comparison, such as a cholesterol test, to inform, for example, whether it is worth it to go see a doctor? I would like to use Tool to attach the simple blood test data to the session and with this the Model can analyse and made a simple suggestion if is necessary to see a doctor etc.. ? ps.: Local model

I am experimenting with Foundation Models in my time tracking app to analyze users tracked events, but I am finding that the model struggles with even basic computation of time. Specifically converting from seconds to hours and minutes. To give just one example, when I prompt: "Convert 3672 seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds. Don't include the calculations in the resulting output" I get this: "3672 seconds is equal to 1 hour, 0 minutes, and 36 seconds". Which is clearly wrong - it should be 1 hour, 1 minute, and 12 seconds. Another issue that I saw a lot is that seconds were considered to be minutes, or that the hours were just completely off. What can I do to make the support for math better? Or is that just something that the model is not meant to be used for?

Is it possible to train an Adaptor for the Foundation Models to produce Generable output? If so what would the response part of the training data need to look like? Presumably, under the hood, the model is outputting JSON (or some other similar structure) that can be decoded to a Generable type. Would the response part of the training data for an Adaptor need to be in that structured format?

I downloaded Xcode Beta 1 on my mac (did not upgrade the OS). The target OS level of iOS26 and the device simulator for iOS26 is downloaded and selected as the target. When I try a simple Playground in Xcode ( #Playground ) I get a session error. #Playground { let avail = SystemLanguageModel.default.availability if avail != .available { print("SystemLanguageModel not available") return } let session = LanguageModelSession() do { let response = try await session.respond(to: "Create a recipe for apple pie") } catch { print(error) } } The error I get is: Asset com.apple.gm.safety_deny_input.foundation_models.framework.api not found in Model Catalog Is there a way to test drive the FoundationModel code without upgrading to macos26?

Trying the Foundation Model framework and when I try to run several sessions in a loop, I'm getting a thrown error that I'm hitting a rate limit. Are these rate limits documented? What's the best practice here? I'm trying to run the models against new content downloaded from a web service where I might get ~200 items in a given download. They're relatively small but there can be that many that want to be processed in a loop.

I've downloaded the Xcode-beta and run the sample project "FoundationModelsTripPlanner" but I got this error when trying generate the response. InferenceError::inferenceFailed::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.modelcatalog" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.modelcatalog} Device: M1 Pro Question: Is it because M1 not supporting this feature?

Hi, I have an app that uses Core Data to store user information and display it in various views. I want to know if it's possible to easily integrate this setup with FoundationModels to make it easier for the user to query and manipulate the information, and if so, how would I go about it? Can the model be pointed to the database schema file and the SQLite file sitting in the user's app group container to parse out the information needed? And/or should the NSManagedObjects be made @Generable for better output? Any guidance about this would be useful.

I installed Xcode 26.0 beta and downloaded the generative models sample from here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels/adding-intelligent-app-features-with-generative-models But when I run it in the iOS 26.0 simulator, I get the error shown here. What's going wrong?

I am watching a few WWDC sessions on Foundation Model and its usage and it looks pretty cool. I was wondering if it is possible to perform RAG on the user documents on the devices and entuallly on iCloud... Let's say I have a lot of pages documents about me and I want the Foundation model to access those information on the documents to answer questions about me that can be retrieved from the documents. How can this be done ? Thanks
