I watched this year WWDC25 "Read Documents using the Vision framework". At the end of video there is mention of new DetectHandPoseRequest model for hand pose detection in Vision API. I looked Apple documentation and I don't see new revision. Moreover probably typo in video because there is only DetectHumanPoseRequst (swift based) and VNDetectHumanHandPoseRequest (obj-c based) (notice lack of Human prefix in WWDC video) First one have revision only added in iOS 18+: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision/detecthumanhandposerequest/revision-swift.enum/revision1 Second one have revision only added in iOS14+: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision/vndetecthumanhandposerequestrevision1 I don't see any new revision targeting iOS26+

Just tried to write a very simple test of using foundation models, but it gave me the error like this "ModelManager received unentitled request. Expected entitlement com.apple.modelmanager.inference establishment of session failed with Missing entitlement: com.apple.modelmanager.inference" The simple code is listed below: let session: LanguageModelSession = LanguageModelSession() let response = try? await session.respond(to: "What is the capital of France?") print("Response: (response)") So what's the problem of this one?

Pretty much as per the title and I suspect I know the answer. Given that Foundation Models run on device, is it possible to use Foundation Models framework inside of a DeviceActivityReport? I've been tinkering with it, and all I get is errors and "Sandbox restrictions". Am I missing something? Seems like a missed trick to utilise on device AI/ML with other frameworks.

Hi i'm curently crating a model to identify car plates (object detection) i use asitop to monitor my macbook pro and i see that only the cpu is used for the training and i wanted to know why

Would there be a popup automatically shown to a user saying to enable Apple Intelligence if our user has the toggle turned off? Just curious about how that experience looks for both us as developers and users.

Hey Tried using a few regular expressions and all fail with an error: Unhandled error streaming response: A generation guide with an unsupported pattern was used. Is there are a list of supported features? I don't see it in docs, and it takes RegExp. Anything with e.g. [A-Z] fails.

Hi For certain tasks, such as qualitative analysis or tagging, it is advisable to provide the AI with the option to respond with a joker / wild card answer when it encounters difficulties in tagging or scoring. For instance, you can include this slot in the prompt as follows: output must be "not data to score" when there isn't information to score. In the absence of these types of slots, AI trends to provide a solution even when there is insufficient information. Foundations Models are told to be prompted with simple prompts. I wonder: Is recommended keep this slot though adds verbose complexity? Is the best place the comment of a guided attribute? other tips? Another use case is when you want the AI to be tied to the information provided in the prompt and not take information from its data set. What is the best approach to this purpose? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

I am calling into an app extension from a Safari Web Extension (sendNativeMessage, which in turn results in a call to NSExtensionRequestHandling’s beginRequest). My Safari extension aims to make use of the new foundation models for some of the features it provides. In my testing, I hit the rate limit by sending 4 requests, waiting 30 seconds between each. This makes the FoundationModels framework (which would otherwise serve my use case perfectly well) unusable in this context, because the model is called in response to user input, and this rate of user input is perfectly plausible in a real world scenario. The error thrown as a result of the rate limit is “Safety guardrail was triggered after consecutive failures during streaming.", but looking at the system logs in Console.app shows the rate limit as the real culprit. My suggestions: Please introduce sensible rate limits for app extensions, through an entitlement if need be. If it is rate limited to 1 request per every couple of seconds, that would already fix the issue for me. Please document the rate limit. Please make the thrown error reflect that it is the result of a rate limit and not a generic guardrail violation. IMPORTANT: please indicate in the thrown error when it is safe to try again.

I have an app that streams in data from the Foundation Model and I have a card that shows one of the outputs. I want my card to accept a partially generated model but I keep getting a nonsensical error. The error I get on line 59 is: Cannot convert value of type 'FrostDate.VegetableSuggestion.PartiallyGenerated' (aka 'FrostDate.VegetableSuggestion') to expected argument type 'FrostDate.VegetableSuggestion.PartiallyGenerated' Here is my card with preview: import SwiftUI import FoundationModels struct VegetableSuggestionCard: View { let vegetableSuggestion: VegetableSuggestion.PartiallyGenerated init(vegetableSuggestion: VegetableSuggestion.PartiallyGenerated) { self.vegetableSuggestion = vegetableSuggestion } var body: some View { VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) { if let name = vegetableSuggestion.vegetableName { Text(name) .font(.headline) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) } if let startIndoors = vegetableSuggestion.startSeedsIndoors { Text("Start indoors: \(startIndoors)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) } if let startOutdoors = vegetableSuggestion.startSeedsOutdoors { Text("Start outdoors: \(startOutdoors)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) } if let transplant = vegetableSuggestion.transplantSeedlingsOutdoors { Text("Transplant: \(transplant)") .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) } if let tips = vegetableSuggestion.tips { Text("Tips: \(tips)") .foregroundStyle(.secondary) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) } } .padding(16) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading) .background( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16, style: .continuous) .fill(.background) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 16, style: .continuous) .strokeBorder(.quaternary, lineWidth: 1) ) .shadow(color: Color.black.opacity(0.05), radius: 6, x: 0, y: 2) ) } } #Preview("Vegetable Suggestion Card") { let sample = VegetableSuggestion.PartiallyGenerated( vegetableName: "Tomato", startSeedsIndoors: "6–8 weeks before last frost", startSeedsOutdoors: "After last frost when soil is warm", transplantSeedlingsOutdoors: "1–2 weeks after last frost", tips: "Harden off seedlings; provide full sun and consistent moisture." ) VegetableSuggestionCard(vegetableSuggestion: sample) .padding() .previewLayout(.sizeThatFits) }

In this WWDC25 session, it is explictely mentioned that apps should support AttributedString for text parameters to their App Intents. However, I have not gotten this to work. Whenever I pass rich text (either generated by the new "Use Model" intent or generated manually for example using "Make Rich Text from Markdown"), my Intent gets an AttributedString with the correct characters, but with all attributes stripped (so in effect just plain text). struct TestIntent: AppIntent { static var title = LocalizedStringResource(stringLiteral: "Test Intent") static var description = IntentDescription("Tests Attributed Strings in Intent Parameters.") @Parameter var text: AttributedString func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<AttributedString> { return .result(value: text) } } Is there anything else I am missing?

I'm really not familiar with ML, but I need a model that can enhance and denoise 4k video stream at 30fps. I have tried to search latest papers but they all have very complex structure, and I don't think I can convert them to mlmodel. So can anyone give me any recommandation for such models? If there is an existing mlmodel, that would be great!

I generate an array of random floats using the code shown below. However, I would like to do this with Double instead of Float. Are there any BNNS random number generators for double values, something like BNNSRandomFillUniformDouble? If not, is there a way I can convert BNNSNDArrayDescriptor from float to double? import Accelerate let n = 100_000_000 let result = Array<Float>(unsafeUninitializedCapacity: n) { buffer, initCount in var descriptor = BNNSNDArrayDescriptor(data: buffer, shape: .vector(n))! let randomGenerator = BNNSCreateRandomGenerator(BNNSRandomGeneratorMethodAES_CTR, nil) BNNSRandomFillUniformFloat(randomGenerator, &descriptor, 0, 1) initCount = n }

I'm interested in using Foundation Models to act as an AI support agent for our extensive in-app documentation. We have many pages of in-app documents, which the user can currently search, but it would be great to use Foundation Models to let the user get answers to arbitrary questions. Is this possible with the current version of Foundation Models? It seems like the way to add new context to the model is with the instructions parameter on LanguageModelSession. As I understand it, the combined instructions and prompt need to consume less than 4096 tokens. That definitely wouldn't be enough for the amount of documentation I want the agent to be able to refer to. Is there another way of doing this, maybe as a series of recursive queries? If there is a solution based on multiple queries, should I expect this to be fast enough for interactive use?

When calling NLTagger.requestAssets with some languages, it hangs indefinitely both in the simulator and a device. This happens consistently for some languages like greek. An example call is NLTagger.requestAssets(for: .greek, tagScheme: .lemma). Other languages like french return immediately. I captured some logs from Console and found what looks like the repeated attempts to download the asset. I would expect the call to eventually terminate, either loading the asset or failing with an error.

HI, I've been modifying the Camera sample app found here: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/sample-apps/capturingphotos-camerapreview ... in the processpreview images, I am calling in to the Vision APis to either detect a person or object, then I'm using the segmentation mask to extract the person and composite them onto a different background with some other filters. I am using coreimage to filter the CIImages, and converting and displaying as a SwiftUI Image. When running on my IPhone, it works fine. When running on my Iphone with the debugger, it crashes within a few seconds... Attached is a screenshot. At the top is an EXC_BAD_ACCESS in libRPAC.dylib`std::__1::__hash_table<std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::__unordered_map_hasher<long, std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::hash, std::__1::equal_to, true>, std::__1::__unordered_map_equal<long, std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::equal_to, std::__1::hash, true>, std::__1::allocator<std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>>>::__emplace_unique_key_args<long, std::__1::piecewise_construct_t const&, std::__1::tuple<long const&>, std::__1::tuple<>>: This was working fine a couple of days ago.. Not sure why it's popping up now. Am I correct in interpreting this as an LLDB issue? How do I fix it?

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm investigating Core ML model loading behavior and noticed that even when the compiled model path remains unchanged after an APP update, the first run still triggers an "uncached load" process. This seems to impact user experience with unnecessary delays. Question: Does Core ML provide any public API to check whether a compiled model (from a specific .mlmodelc path) is already cached in the system? If such API exists, we'd like to use it for pre-loading decision logic - only perform background pre-load when the model isn't cached. Has anyone encountered similar scenarios or found official solutions? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

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.

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'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.

Hi, I’m developing an app targeting iOS 26, using the new FoundationModels framework to perform on-device LLM inference. I’m currently testing memory usage. Does the memory used by FoundationModels—including model weights, KV cache, and any inference-related buffers—count toward my app’s Jetsam memory limit, or is any of it managed separately by the system? I may need to run two concurrent inferences, each with a 4096-token context window. Is this explicitly supported or allowed by FoundationModels on iOS 26? Would this significantly increase the risk of memory-based termination? Thanks in advance for any clarification. Thanks.
