I was trying the latest coremltools-8.0b1 beta on macOS 15 Beta with the intent to try using the new stateful models api in CoreML. But the conversion would always fail with the error: /AppleInternal/Library/BuildRoots/<snip>/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/MetalPerformanceShadersGraph/mpsgraph/MetalPerformanceShadersGraph/Core/Files/MPSGraphExecutable.mm:162: failed assertion `Error: the minimum deployment target for macOS is 14.0.0' Here's a minimal repro, which works fine with both the stable version of coremltools (7.2) and the beta version (8.0b1) on macOS Sonoma 14.5, but fails with both versions of coremltools on macOS 15.0 Beta and Xcode 16.0 Beta. Which means that this most likely isn't an issue with coremltools, but with the native compilation toolchain. from collections import OrderedDict import coremltools as ct import numpy as np import torch import torch.nn as nn class ResidualAttentionBlock(nn.Module): def __init__(self, d_model: int, n_head: int, attn_mask: torch.Tensor = None): super().__init__() self.attn = nn.MultiheadAttention(d_model, n_head) self.ln_1 = nn.LayerNorm(d_model) self.mlp = nn.Sequential( OrderedDict( [ ("c_fc", nn.Linear(d_model, d_model * 4)), ("gelu", nn.GELU()), ("c_proj", nn.Linear(d_model * 4, d_model)), ] ) ) self.ln_2 = nn.LayerNorm(d_model) self.attn_mask = attn_mask def attention(self, x: torch.Tensor): self.attn_mask = ( self.attn_mask.to(dtype=x.dtype, device=x.device) if self.attn_mask is not None else None ) return self.attn(x, x, x, need_weights=False, attn_mask=self.attn_mask)[0] def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor): x = x + self.attention(self.ln_1(x)) x = x + self.mlp(self.ln_2(x)) return x class Transformer(nn.Module): def __init__( self, width: int, layers: int, heads: int, attn_mask: torch.Tensor = None ): super().__init__() self.width = width self.layers = layers self.resblocks = nn.Sequential( *[ResidualAttentionBlock(width, heads, attn_mask) for _ in range(layers)] ) def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor): return self.resblocks(x) transformer = Transformer(width=512, layers=12, heads=8) emb_tokens = torch.rand((1, 512)) ct_model = ct.convert( torch.jit.trace(transformer.eval(), emb_tokens), convert_to="mlprogram", minimum_deployment_target=ct.target.macOS14, inputs=[ct.TensorType(name="embIn", shape=[1, 512])], outputs=[ct.TensorType(name="embOutput", dtype=np.float32)], )

I have several CoreML models that I've set up to run in sequence where one of the outputs from each model is passed as one of the inputs to the next. For the most part, there is very little overhead in between each sub-model "chunk": However a couple of the models (eg the first two above) spend a noticeable amount of time in "Prepare Neural Engine Request". From Instruments, it seems like this is spent doing some sort of model loading. Given that I'm calling these models in sequence and in a fixed order, is there some way to reduce or amortize this cost? Thanks!

Deploy machine learning and AI models on-device with Core ML say the performance report can see the ops run on which unit and why it cannot run on Neural Engine. I tested my model and the report shows a gray checkmark at the Neural Engine, indicating it can run on the Neural Engine. However, it's not executing on the Neural Engine but on the CPU. Why is this happening?

I want to try an any resolution image input Core ML model. So I wrote the model following the Core ML Tools "Set the Range for Each Dimensionas" sample code, modified as below: # Trace the model with random input. example_input = torch.rand(1, 3, 50, 50) traced_model = torch.jit.trace(model.eval(), example_input) # Set the input_shape to use RangeDim for each dimension. input_shape = ct.Shape(shape=(1, 3, ct.RangeDim(lower_bound=25, upper_bound=1920, default=45), ct.RangeDim(lower_bound=25, upper_bound=1920, default=45))) scale = 1/(0.226*255.0) bias = [- 0.485/(0.229) , - 0.456/(0.224), - 0.406/(0.225)] # Convert the model with input_shape. mlmodel = ct.convert(traced_model, inputs=[ct.ImageType(shape=input_shape, name="input", scale=scale, bias=bias)], outputs=[ct.TensorType(name="output")], convert_to="mlprogram", ) # Save the Core ML model mlmodel.save("image_resize_model.mlpackage") It converts OK but when I predict the result with an image It will get the error as below: You will not be able to run predict() on this Core ML model. Underlying exception message was: { NSLocalizedDescription = "Failed to build the model execution plan using a model architecture file '/private/var/folders/8z/vtz02xrj781dxvz1v750skz40000gp/T/model-small.mlmodelc/model.mil' with error code: -7."; } Where did I do wrong?

Hi, I want to create a real time sports analytics app that takes camera input and records basketball stats. I want to use pose estimation and object classification to record things such as dribbles, when the ball leaves one's hands. etc. Is it possible to have a model in CoreML that performs pose estimation on people but also does just simple object detection on other classes (ie. ball, hoop?) Thanks

Error when trying to generate CoreML performance report, message says The data couldn't be written because it isn't in the correct format.

Hi there, I am trying to create a Message Filter app that uses a trained Text Classification to predict scam texts (as it is common in my country and is constantly evolving). However, when I try to use the MLModel in the MessageFilterExtension class, I'm getting initialization of text classifier model with model data failed Here's how I initialize my MLModel that is created using Create ML. do { let model = try MyModel(configuration: .init()) let output = try model.prediction(text: text) guard !output.label.isEmpty else { return nil } return MessagePrediction(rawValue: output.label) } catch { return nil } Is it impossible to use CoreML in Message Filter extensions? Thank you

I created a model that classifies certain objects using yolov8. I noticed that the model is not working properly in my application. While the model works fine in Xcode preview, in the application it either returns the same result with 99% accuracy for each classification or does not provide any result. In Preview it looks like this: Predictions: extension CameraVC : AVCapturePhotoCaptureDelegate { func photoOutput(_ output: AVCapturePhotoOutput, didFinishProcessingPhoto photo: AVCapturePhoto, error: (any Error)?) { guard let data = photo.fileDataRepresentation() else { return } guard let image = UIImage(data: data) else { return } guard let cgImage = image.cgImage else { fatalError("Unable to create CIImage") } let handler = VNImageRequestHandler(cgImage: cgImage,orientation: CGImagePropertyOrientation(image.imageOrientation)) DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { do { try handler.perform([self.viewModel.detectionRequest]) } catch { fatalError("Failed to perform detection: \(error)") } } lazy var detectionRequest: VNCoreMLRequest = { do { let model = try VNCoreMLModel(for: bestv720().model) let request = VNCoreMLRequest(model: model) { [weak self] request, error in self?.processDetections(for: request, error: error) } request.imageCropAndScaleOption = .centerCrop return request } catch { fatalError("Failed to load Vision ML model: \(error)") } }() This is where i print recognized objects: func processDetections(for request: VNRequest, error: Error?) { DispatchQueue.main.async { guard let results = request.results as? [VNRecognizedObjectObservation] else { return } var label = "" var all_results = [] var all_confidence = [] var true_results = [] var true_confidence = [] for result in results { for i in 0...results.count{ all_results.append(result.labels[i].identifier) all_confidence.append(result.labels[i].confidence) for confidence in all_confidence { if confidence as! Float > 0.7 { true_results.append(result.labels[i].identifier) true_confidence.append(confidence) } } } label = result.labels[0].identifier } print("True Results " , true_results) print("True Confidence ", true_confidence) self.output?.updateView(label:label) } } I converted the model like this: from ultralytics import YOLO model = YOLO(model_path) model.export(format='coreml', nms=True, imgsz=[720,1280])

I am testing the new scaled dot product attention CoreML op on macOS 15 beta 1. Based on the session video I was expecting to see a speedup when running on GPU however I see roughly equivalent performance to the same model on macOS 14. I ran tests with two models: one that simply repeats y = sdpa(y, k, v) 50 times gpt2 124M converted from nanoGPT (the only change is not returning loss from the forward method) I converted both models using coremltools 8.0b1 with minimum deployment targets of macOS 14 and also macOS 15. In Xcode, I can see that the new op was used for the macOS 15 target. Running on macOS 15 both target models take the same time, and that time matches the runtime on macOS 14. Should I be seeing performance improvements?

I have a couple of models that I want to migrate to .mlpackage but can not find the resources of the session: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10159/ In the video at 21:10 talk about modifications and optimizations, but in the video can not even see the dependencies of the demo. Thanks

Hi all, I'm trying to build a scam detection in Message Filter powered by CoreML. I find the predictions of ML reliable and the solution for text frauds and scams are sorely needed. I was able to create a trained MLModel and deploy it in the app. It works on my container app, but when I try to use and initialise the model in the Message Filter extension, I get an error; initialization of text classifier model with model data failed I have tried putting the model in the container app, extension, even made a shared framework for container and extension but to no avail. Every time I invoke the codes to init my model from the extension, I am met with the same error. Here's my code for initializing the model do { let model = try Ace_v24_6(configuration: .init()) let output = try model.prediction(text: text) guard !output.label.isEmpty else { return nil } return MessagePrediction(rawValue: output.label) } catch { return nil } My question is: Is it impossible to use CoreML in MessageFilters? Cheers

For some reason YDF does not work with the ARM processor. An issue with mutex and destruction.

In most deep learning inference frameworks, there is usually a warmup process, but typically, only the first inference is slower. Why does CoreML have a decreasing runtime at the beginning? Is there a way to make only the first inference time longer, while keeping the rest consistent? I use the CoreML model in the (void)display_pixels:(IJKOverlay *)overlay function.

I have a model that uses ‘flatten’, and when I converted it to a Core ML model and ran it on Xcode with an iPhone XR, I noticed that ‘flatten’ was automatically converted to ‘reshape’. However, the NPU does not support ‘reshape’. howerver, I got the Resnet50 model on apple models and performance it on XCode with the same iphone XR, I can see the 'flatten' operator which run on NPU. On the other hand, when I used the following code to convert ResNet50 in PyTorch and ran it on Xcode Performance, the ‘flatten’ operation was converted to ‘reshape’, which then ran on the CPU. ? So I dont know how to keep 'flatten' operator when convert to ml model ? coreml tool 7.1 iphone XR ios 17.5.1 from torchvision import models import coremltools as ct import torch import torch.nn as nn network_name = "my_resnet50" torch_model = models.resnet50(pretrained=True) torch_model.eval() width = 224 height = 224 example_input = torch.rand(1, 3, height, width) traced_model = torch.jit.trace(torch_model, (example_input)) model = ct.convert( traced_model, convert_to = "neuralnetwork", inputs=[ ct.TensorType( name = "data", shape = example_input.shape, dtype = np.float32 ) ], outputs = [ ct.TensorType( name = "output", dtype = np.float32 ) ], compute_units = ct.ComputeUnit.CPU_AND_NE, minimum_deployment_target = ct.target.iOS14, ) model.save("my_resnet.mlmodel") ResNet50 on Resnet50.mlmodel My Convertion of ResNet50

Hi, I'd like to use a MLX model already in the MLX Community in my App. I understand I first need to convert it to Core ML format. Is there an easy way to do that considering MLX is an Apple project? It would be good if it was easier then I'd be more motivated to use MLX to train my models. Thanks Richard

The DINO v1/v2 models are particularly interesting to me as they produce embeddings for the detected objects rather than ordinary classification indexes. That makes them so much more useful than the CNN based models. I would like to prepare some of the models posted on Huggingface to run on Apple Silicon, but it seems that the default conversion with TorchScript will not work. The other default conversions I've looked at so far also don't work. Conversion based on an example input doesn't capture enough of the model. I know that some have managed to convert it as I have a demo with a coreml model that seems to work, but I would like to know how to do the conversion myself. Has anyone managed to convert any of the DINOv2 models?

I am currently working on a 2D pose estimator. I developed a PyTorch vision transformer based model with 17 joints in COCO format for the same and then converted it to CoreML using CoreML tools version 6.2. The model was trained on a custom dataset. However, upon running the converted model on iOS, I observed a significant drop in accuracy. You can see it in this video (https://youtu.be/EfGFrOZQGtU) that demonstrates the outputs of the PyTorch model (on the left) and the CoreML model (on the right). Could you please confirm if this drop in accuracy is expected and suggest any possible solutions to address this issue? Please note that all preprocessing and post-processing techniques remain consistent between the models. P.S. While converting I also got the following warning. : TracerWarning: Converting a tensor to a Python boolean might cause the trace to be incorrect. We can't record the data flow of Python values, so this value will be treated as a constant in the future. This means that the trace might not generalize to other inputs! if x.numel() == 0 and obsolete_torch_version(TORCH_VERSION, (1, 4)): P.P.S. When we initialize the CoreML model on iOS 17.0, we get this error: Validation failure: Invalid Pool kernel width (13), must be [1-8] or 20. Validation failure: Invalid Pool kernel width (9), must be [1-8] or 20. Validation failure: Invalid Pool kernel width (13), must be [1-8] or 20. Validation failure: Invalid Pool kernel width (9), must be [1-8] or 20. Validation failure: Invalid Pool kernel width (13), must be [1-8] or 20. This neural network model does not have a parameter for requested key 'precisionRecallCurves'. Note: only updatable neural network models can provide parameter values and these values are only accessible in the context of an MLUpdateTask completion or progress handler.
