Hi, i have been noticing some strange issues with using CoreML models in my app. I am using the Whisper.cpp implementation which has a coreML option. This speeds up the transcribing vs Metal. However every time i use it, the app size inside iphone settings -> General -> Storage increases - specifically the "documents and data" part, the bundle size stays consistent. The Size of the app seems to increase by the same size of the coreml model, and after a few reloads it can increase to over 3-4gb! I thought that maybe the coreml model (which is in the bundle) is being saved to file - but i can't see where, i have tried to use instruments and xcode plus lots of printing out of cache and temp directory etc, deleting the caches etc.. but no effect. I have downloaded the container of the iphone from xcode and inspected it, there are some files stored inthe cache but only a few kbs, and even though the value in the settings-> storage shows a few gb, the container is only a few mb. Please can someone help or give me some guidance on what to do to figure out why the documents and data is increasing? where could this folder be pointing to that is not in the xcode downloaded container?? This is the repo i am using https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp the swiftui app and objective-C app both do the same thing i am witnessing when using coreml. Thanks in advance for any help, i am totally baffled by this behaviour

Hi All, I am trying to build a new iOS app by following https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10163/?time=67 When I trying to remove all legacy VN I am getting error, I would appreciate if someone can help me get up to speed with the new Vision API

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

https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10159/ This video references demo_utils but I did not see any source code attached to the video. Does anyone have access to it

Hi, the following model does not run on ANE. Inspecting with deCoreML I see the error ane: Failed to retrieved zero_point. import numpy as np import coremltools as ct from coremltools.converters.mil import Builder as mb import coremltools.converters.mil as mil B, CIN, COUT = 512, 1024, 1024 * 4 @mb.program( input_specs=[ mb.TensorSpec((B, CIN), mil.input_types.types.fp16), ], opset_version=mil.builder.AvailableTarget.iOS18 ) def prog_manual_dequant( x, ): qw = np.random.randint(0, 2 ** 4, size=(COUT, CIN), dtype=np.int8).astype(mil.mil.types.np_uint4_dtype) scale = np.random.randn(COUT, 1).astype(np.float16) offset = np.random.randn(COUT, 1).astype(np.float16) # offset = np.random.randint(0, 2 ** 4, size=(COUT, 1), dtype=np.uint8).astype(mil.mil.types.np_uint4_dtype) dqw = mb.constexpr_blockwise_shift_scale(data=qw, scale=scale, offset=offset) return mb.linear(x=x, weight=dqw) cml_qmodel = ct.convert( prog_manual_dequant, compute_units=ct.ComputeUnit.CPU_AND_NE, compute_precision=ct.precision.FLOAT16, minimum_deployment_target=ct.target.iOS18, ) Whereas if I use an offset with the same dtype as the weights (uint4 in this case), it does run on ANE Tested on coremltools 8.0b1, on macOS 15.0 beta 2/Xcode 15 beta 2, and macOS 15.0 beta 3/Xcode 15 beta 3.

The Keras Embedding layer cannot be calculated on Metal because of the missing Op:StatelessRandomGetKeyCounter, as shown in this error message: tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.InvalidArgumentError: Could not satisfy device specification '/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0'. enable_soft_placement=0. Supported device types [CPU]. All available devices [/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0, /job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0]. [Op:StatelessRandomGetKeyCounter] A workaround is to enable soft placement, but this obviously is slower: tf.config.set_soft_device_placement(True) Reporting it here as recommended by the TensorFlow Plugin Metal team.

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. Here is the code to replicate the issue import numpy as np import coremltools as ct from coremltools.converters.mil import Builder as mb import coremltools.converters.mil as mil w = np.random.normal(size=(256, 128, 1)) wemb = np.random.normal(size=(1, 32000, 128)) # .astype(np.float16) rope_emb = np.random.normal(size=(1, 2048, 128)) shapes = [(1, seqlen) for seqlen in (32, 64)] enum_shape = mil.input_types.EnumeratedShapes(shapes=shapes) fixed_shape = (1, 128) max_length = 2048 dtype = np.float32 @mb.program( input_specs=[ # mb.TensorSpec(enum_shape.symbolic_shape, dtype=mil.input_types.types.int32), mb.TensorSpec(enum_shape.symbolic_shape, dtype=mil.input_types.types.int32), ], opset_version=mil.builder.AvailableTarget.iOS17, ) def flex_like(input_ids): indices = mb.fill_like(ref_tensor=input_ids, value=np.array(1, dtype=np.int32)) causal_mask = np.expand_dims( np.triu(np.full((max_length, max_length), -np.inf, dtype=dtype), 1), axis=0, ) mask = mb.gather( x=causal_mask, indices=indices, axis=2, batch_dims=1, name="mask_gather_0", ) # mask = mb.gather( # x=mask, indices=indices, axis=1, batch_dims=1, name="mask_gather_1" # ) rope = mb.gather(x=rope_emb.astype(dtype), indices=indices, axis=1, batch_dims=1, name="rope") hidden_states = mb.gather(x=wemb.astype(dtype), indices=input_ids, axis=1, batch_dims=1, name="embedding") return ( hidden_states, mask, rope, ) cml_flex_like = ct.convert( flex_like, compute_units=ct.ComputeUnit.ALL, compute_precision=ct.precision.FLOAT32, minimum_deployment_target=ct.target.iOS17, inputs=[ ct.TensorType(name="input_ids", shape=enum_shape), ], ) cml_flex_like.save("flex_like_32") If I remove the hidden states from the return it does work, and it also works if I keep the hidden states, but remove both mask, and rope, i.e, the report is generated for both programs with either these returns: return ( # hidden_states, mask, rope, ) and return ( hidden_states, # mask, # rope, ) It also works if I use a static shape instead of an EnumeratedShape I'm using macOS 15.0 and Xcode 16.0 Edit 1: Forgot to mention that although the performance report fails, the model is still able to make predictions

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?

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.

for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++){ double st_tmp = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent(); retBuffer = [self.enhancer enhance:pixelBuffer error:&error]; double et_tmp = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent(); NSLog(@"[enhance once] %f ms ", (et_tmp - st_tmp) * 1000); } When I run a CoreML model using the above code, I notice that the runtime gradually decreases at the beginning. output： [enhance once] 14.965057 ms [enhance once] 12.727022 ms [enhance once] 12.818098 ms [enhance once] 11.829972 ms [enhance once] 11.461020 ms [enhance once] 10.949016 ms [enhance once] 10.712981 ms [enhance once] 10.367990 ms [enhance once] 10.077000 ms [enhance once] 9.699941 ms [enhance once] 9.370089 ms [enhance once] 8.634090 ms [enhance once] 7.659078 ms [enhance once] 7.061005 ms [enhance once] 6.729007 ms [enhance once] 6.603003 ms [enhance once] 6.427050 ms [enhance once] 6.376028 ms [enhance once] 6.509066 ms [enhance once] 6.452084 ms [enhance once] 6.549001 ms [enhance once] 6.616950 ms [enhance once] 6.471038 ms [enhance once] 6.462932 ms [enhance once] 6.443977 ms [enhance once] 6.683946 ms [enhance once] 6.538987 ms [enhance once] 6.628990 ms ... 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.
