My iOS app supports iOS 18, and I’m using an encrypted CoreML model secured with a key generated from Xcode. Every few months (around every 3 months), the encrypted model fails to load for both me and my users. When I investigate, I find this error: coreml Fetching decryption key from server failed: noEntryFound("No records found"). Make sure the encryption key was generated with correct team ID To temporarily fix it, I delete the old key, generate a new one, re-encrypt the model, and submit an app update. This resolves the issue, but only for a while. This is a terrible experience for users and obviously not a sustainable solution. I want to understand: Why is this happening? Is there a known expiration or invalidation policy for CoreML encryption keys? How can I prevent this issue permanently? Any insights or official guidance would be really appreciated.

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?

Hey, When generating responses with structured output and non-streaming API, it sometimes takes 3s, sometimes 10-20s. I am firing that request subsequently while testing the app. Is this by design, or any place I can learn more about what contributes to such variation?

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!

While runninf Apple Foundation Model in iPhone simulator, I got this error: IPC error: Underlying connection interrupted What does this mean? Related to foundation model?

We have suddenly encountered a serious issue: our local ML models are no longer being decrypted. Everything was set up according to the guide at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreml/generating-a-model-encryption-key and had been working in production, but yesterday we started receiving the following error: Error Domain=com.apple.CoreML Code=8 "Fetching decryption key from server failed: noEntryFound("No records found"). Make sure the encryption key was generated with correct team ID." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Fetching decryption key from server failed: noEntryFound("No records found"). Make sure the encryption key was generated with correct team ID.} We haven’t changed anything in our code. This started spontaneously affecting users of the release version as of yesterday. It also no longer works locally — we receive the same error at the moment the autogenerated function is called: class func load(configuration: MLModelConfiguration = MLModelConfiguration(), completionHandler handler: @escaping (Swift.Result<ZingPDModel, Error>) -> Void) I assume that I can generate a new key through Xcode, integrate it in place of the old one, and it might start working again. However, this won’t affect existing users until they update the app. Could the issue be on Apple’s infrastructure side?

Does CoreML object detection only support AABB (Axis-Aligned Bounding Boxes) or also OBB (Oriented Bounded Boxes)? If not, any way to do it using Apple frameworks?

I’m developing an activity classifier that I’d like to input using the JSON format of CoreMotion data. I am getting the error: Unable to parse /Users/DewG/Downloads/Testing/Step1/Testing.json. It does not appear to be in JSON record format. A SequenceType of dictionaries is expected I've verified that the format I am using is JSON via various JSON validators, so I am expecting I'm just holding it wrong. Is there an example of a JSON file with CoreMotion data that I can model after?

Do we know what a safe max token limit is? After some iterating, I have come to believe 4096 might be the limit on device. Could you help me out by answering any of these questions: Is 4096 the correct limit? Do all devices have the same limit? Will the limit change over time or by device? The errors I get when going over the limit do not seem to say, hey you are over, so it's just by trial and error that I figure these issues out. Thanks for the fun new toys. Regards, Rob

I have been working on a small CV program, which uses fine-tuned U2Netp model converted by coremltools 8.3.0 from PyTorch. It works well on my iPhone (with iOS version 18.5) and my Macbook (with MacOS version 15.3.1). But it fails to load after I upgraded Macbook to MacOS version 15.5. I have attached console log when loading this model.

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.

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

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.

When context window size exceeded, this error is not called (instead another error has shown up) to handle new session. LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.exceededContextWindowSize Or am I doing things wrong?

Is anything configurable for LanguageModelSession.Guardrails besides the default? I'm prototyping a camping app, and it's constantly slamming into guardrail errors when I use the new foundation model interface. Any subjects relating to fishing, survival, etc. won't generate. For example the prompt "How can I kill deer ticks using a clothing treatment?" returns a generation error. The results that I get are great when it works, but so far the local model sessions are extremely unreliable.

I've run into an issue with a small Foundation Models test with Generable. I'm getting a strange error message with this Generable. I was able to get simpler ones to work. Is this because the Generable is recursive with a property of [HTMLDiv]? The error message is: FoundationModels/SchemaAugmentor.swift:209: Fatal error: 'try!' expression unexpectedly raised an error: FoundationModels.GenerationSchema.SchemaError.undefinedReferences(schema: Optional("SafeResponse<HTMLDiv>"), references: ["HTMLDiv"], context: FoundationModels.GenerationSchema.SchemaError.Context(debugDescription: "Undefined types: [HTMLDiv]", underlyingErrors: [])) The code is: import FoundationModels import Playgrounds @Generable struct HTMLDiv { @Guide(description: "Optional named ID, useful for nicknames") var id: String? = nil @Guide(description: "Optional visible HTML text") var textContent: String? = nil @Guide(description: "Any child elements", .count(0...10)) var children: [HTMLDiv] = [] static var sample: HTMLDiv { HTMLDiv( id: "profileToolbar", children: [ HTMLDiv(textContent: "Log in"), HTMLDiv(textContent: "Sign up"), ] ) } } #Playground { do { let session = LanguageModelSession { "Your job is to generate simple HTML markup" "Here is an example response to the prompt: 'Make a profile toolbar':" HTMLDiv.sample } let response = try await session.respond( to: "Make a sign up form", generating: HTMLDiv.self ) print(response.content) } catch { print(error) } }

I am writing a custom package wrapping Foundation Models which provides a chain-of-thought with intermittent self-evaluation among other things. At first I was designing this package with the command line in mind, but after seeing how well it augments the models and makes them more intelligent I wanted to try and build a SwiftUI wrapper around the package. When I started I was using synchronous generation rather than streaming, but to give the best user experience (as I've seen in the WWDC sessions) it is necessary to provide constant feedback to the user that something is happening. I have created a super simplified example of my setup so it's easier to understand. First, there is the Reasoning conversation item, which can be converted to an XML representation which is then fed back into the model (I've found XML works best for structured input) public typealias ConversationContext = XMLDocument extension ConversationContext { public func toPlainText() -> String { return xmlString(options: [.nodePrettyPrint]) } } /// Represents a reasoning item in a conversation, which includes a title and reasoning content. /// Reasoning items are used to provide detailed explanations or justifications for certain decisions or responses within a conversation. @Generable(description: "A reasoning item in a conversation, containing content and a title.") struct ConversationReasoningItem: ConversationItem { @Guide(description: "The content of the reasoning item, which is your thinking process or explanation") public var reasoningContent: String @Guide(description: "A short summary of the reasoning content, digestible in an interface.") public var title: String @Guide(description: "Indicates whether reasoning is complete") public var done: Bool } extension ConversationReasoningItem: ConversationContextProvider { public func toContext() -> ConversationContext { // <ReasoningItem title="${title}"> // ${reasoningContent} // </ReasoningItem> let root = XMLElement(name: "ReasoningItem") root.addAttribute(XMLNode.attribute(withName: "title", stringValue: title) as! XMLNode) root.stringValue = reasoningContent return ConversationContext(rootElement: root) } } Then there is the generator, which creates a reasoning item from a user query and previously generated items: struct ReasoningItemGenerator { var instructions: String { """ <omitted for brevity> """ } func generate(from input: (String, [ConversationReasoningItem])) async throws -> sending LanguageModelSession.ResponseStream<ConversationReasoningItem> { let session = LanguageModelSession(instructions: instructions) // build the context for the reasoning item out of the user's query and the previous reasoning items let userQuery = "User's query: \(input.0)" let reasoningItemsText = input.1.map { $0.toContext().toPlainText() }.joined(separator: "\n") let context = userQuery + "\n" + reasoningItemsText let reasoningItemResponse = try await session.streamResponse( to: context, generating: ConversationReasoningItem.self) return reasoningItemResponse } } I'm not sure if returning LanguageModelSession.ResponseStream<ConversationReasoningItem> is the right move, I am just trying to imitate what session.streamResponse returns. Then there is the orchestrator, which I can't figure out. It receives the streamed ConversationReasoningItems from the Generator and is responsible for streaming those to SwiftUI later and also for evaluating each reasoning item after it is complete to see if it needs to be regenerated (to keep the model on-track). I want the users of the orchestrator to receive partially generated reasoning items as they are being generated by the generator. Later, when they finish, if the evaluation passes, the item is kept, but if it fails, the reasoning item should be removed from the stream before a new one is generated. So in-flight reasoning items should be outputted aggresively. I really am having trouble figuring this out so if someone with more knowledge about asynchronous stuff in Swift, or- even better- someone who has worked on the Foundation Models framework could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!

I'm testing Foundation Model on my iPad Pro (5th gen) iOS 26. Up until late this morning, I can no longer load the SystemLanguageModel.default. I'm not doing anything interesting, something as basic as this is only going to unavailable, specifically I get unavailable reason: modelNotReady. let model = SystemLanguageModel.default ... switch model.availability { case .available: print("LM available") case .unavailable(let reason): print("unavailable reason: ", String(describing: reason)) } I also ran the FoundationModelsTripPlanner app, same thing. It was working yesterday, I have not modified that project either. Why is the Model not ready? How do I fix this? Yes, I tried restarting both my laptop and iPad, no luck.

I've spent way too long today trying to convert an Object Detection TensorFlow2 model to a CoreML object classifier (with bounding boxes, labels and probability score) The 'SSD MobileNet v2 320x320' is here: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/tf2_detection_zoo.md And I've been following all sorts of posts and ChatGPT https://apple.github.io/coremltools/docs-guides/source/tensorflow-2.html#convert-a-tensorflow-concrete-function https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10153/?time=402 To convert it. I keep hitting the same errors though, mostly around: NotImplementedError: Expected model format: [SavedModel | concrete_function | tf.keras.Model | .h5 | GraphDef], got <ConcreteFunction signature_wrapper(input_tensor) at 0x366B87790> I've had varying success including missing output labels/predictions. But I simply want to create the CoreML model with all the right inputs and outputs (including correct names) as detailed in the docs here: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/running_on_mobile_tf2.md It goes without saying I don't have much (any) experience with this stuff including Python so the whole thing's been a bit of a headache. If anyone is able to help that would be great. FWIW I'm not attached to any one specific model, but what I do need at minimum is a CoreML model that can detect objects (has to at least include lights and lamps) within a live video image, detecting where in the image the object is. The simplest script I have looks like this: import coremltools as ct import tensorflow as tf model = tf.saved_model.load("~/tf_models/ssd_mobilenet_v2_320x320_coco17_tpu-8/saved_model") concrete_func = model.signatures[tf.saved_model.DEFAULT_SERVING_SIGNATURE_DEF_KEY] mlmodel = ct.convert( concrete_func, source="tensorflow", inputs=[ct.TensorType(shape=(1, 320, 320, 3))] ) mlmodel.save("YourModel.mlpackage", save_format="mlpackage")

I'm new to Swift and was hoping the Playground would support loading adaptors. When I tried, I got a permissions error - thinking it's because it's not in the project and Playgrounds don't like going outside the project? A tutorial and some sample code would be helpful. Also some benchmarks on how long it's expected to take. Selfishly I'm on an M2 Mac Mini.
