I am excited to try Foundation Models during WWDC, but it doesn't work at all for me. When running on my iPad Pro M4 with iPadOS 26 seed 1, I get the following error even when running the simplest query: let prompt = "How are you?" let stream = session.streamResponse(to: prompt) for try await partial in stream { self.answer = partial self.resultString = partial } In the Xcode console, I see the following error: assetsUnavailable(FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context(debugDescription: "Model is unavailable", underlyingErrors: [])) I have verified that Apple Intelligence is enabled on my iPad. Any tips on how can I get it working? I have also submitted this feedback: FB17896752

In the name of God, please allow initializing GeneratedContent from an array of key-value pairs. It’s literally the same thing KeyValuePairs uses internally, but it would let us initialize structure-like GeneratedContent from dynamic data without resorting to unsafeBitCast hacks.

Hello, is it allowed to use Foundation Model Framework in submission app for WWDC26? The thing is that Apple Intelligence needs to be enabled in the settings. So, does that mean the jury won't be able to fully utilize the app's AI functionality?

I'm experimenting with using the Foundation Models framework to do news summarization in an RSS app but I'm finding that a lot of articles are getting kicked back with a vague message about guardrails. This seems really common with political news but we're talking mainstream stuff, i.e. Politico, etc. If the models are this restrictive, this will be tough to use. Is this intended? FB17904424

Hi, I just upgraded my macOS with beta 2. After upgrade, the SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp it's stopped working, in Xcode console I read: "The connection to service named com.apple.modelcatalog.catalog was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction." Note: in beta 1 worked fine

Hi, I just upgraded to macOS Tahoe Beta 2 and now I'm getting this error when I try to initialize my Foundation Models' session: Error Resource (Local Sanitizer Asset) unavailable error. import FoundationModels #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() do { let result = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me 3 colors") print(result.content) } catch { print("Error", error) } } I couldn't find any resource guiding me on how to solve this. Any help/workaround? Thank you!

Whenever I try to initialize a LanguageModelSession (let session = LanguageModelSession()), my app crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS. SystemLanguageModel.default.availability returns available. I tried running the two sample projects I found that use Foundation Models, FoundationModelsTripPlanner and SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp, and they both also crash—immediately on launch. I commented out the Foundation Models logic from the SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp and ran it again, and it no longer crashed. I'm on macOS 26 Beta 4 on an M1 Pro device. I'm based in Austria (EU), if that matters.

Hello, I have created this basic swift program: let session = LanguageModelSession( model: .default, instructions: "bla bla bla.") I want to understand what I can put in model parameter (instead of .default). How can I choose between on-device local model (.default I suppose) and apple private cloud model (or any other ?) Thanks

Hi all, I'm working on an app that utilizes the FoundationModels found in iOS 26. I updated my phone to iOS 26 beta 3 and am now receiving the following error when trying to run code that worked in beta 2: Al Error: The operation couldn't be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.Genera- tionError error 2.) I admit I'm a bit of a new developer, but any idea if this is an issue with beta 3 or work that I'll need to do to adapt my code to some changes in the AI API? Thank you!
