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.

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 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) } }

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.

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 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.

Can't import data in create ML word tagging project training data is 100% correct I guarantee it: I mean look this one has one entry in it. [ { "tokens": [ "a", "august", "gruters" ], "labels": [ "BUILDER", "BUILDER", "BUILDER" ] } ]

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

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?

Hi everyone, I’m an AI engineer working on autonomous AI agents and exploring ways to integrate them into the Apple ecosystem, especially via Siri and Apple Intelligence. I was impressed by Apple’s integration of ChatGPT and its privacy-first design, but I’m curious to know: • Are there plans to support third-party LLMs? • Could Siri or Apple Intelligence call external AI agents or allow extensions to plug in alternative models for reasoning, scheduling, or proactive suggestions? I’m particularly interested in building event-driven, voice-triggered workflows where Apple Intelligence could act as a front-end for more complex autonomous systems (possibly local or cloud-based). This kind of extensibility would open up incredible opportunities for personalized, privacy-friendly use cases — while aligning with Apple’s system architecture. Is anything like this on the roadmap? Or is there a suggested way to prototype such integrations today? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or pointers!

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?

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!

Hello folks! Taking a look at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels it’s not clear how to use another models there. Do anyone knows if it’s possible use one trained model from outside (imported) here in foundation models framework? Thanks!

Hello, I was successfully able to compile TKDKid1000/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v0.3-CoreML using Core ML, and it's working well. However, I’m now trying to compile the same model using Swift Transformers. With the limited documentation available on the swift-chat and Hugging Face repositories, I’m finding it difficult to understand the correct process for compiling a model via Swift Transformers. I attempted the following approach, but I’m fairly certain it’s not the recommended or correct method. Could someone guide me on the proper way to compile and use models like TinyLlama with Swift Transformers? Any official workflow, example, or best practice would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! This is the approach I have used: import Foundation import CoreML import Tokenizers @main struct HopeApp { static func main() async { print(" Running custom decoder loop...") do { let tokenizer = try await AutoTokenizer.from(pretrained: "PY007/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v0.3") var inputIds = tokenizer("this is the test of the prompt") print("🧠 Prompt token IDs:", inputIds) let model = try float16_model(configuration: .init()) let maxTokens = 30 for _ in 0..<maxTokens { let input = try MLMultiArray(shape: [1, 128], dataType: .int32) let mask = try MLMultiArray(shape: [1, 128], dataType: .int32) for i in 0..<inputIds.count { input[i] = NSNumber(value: inputIds[i]) mask[i] = 1 } for i in inputIds.count..<128 { input[i] = 0 mask[i] = 0 } let output = try model.prediction(input_ids: input, attention_mask: mask) let logits = output.logits // shape: [1, seqLen, vocabSize] let lastIndex = inputIds.count - 1 let lastLogitsStart = lastIndex * 32003 // vocab size = 32003 var nextToken = 0 var maxLogit: Float32 = -Float.greatestFiniteMagnitude for i in 0..<32003 { let logit = logits[lastLogitsStart + i].floatValue if logit > maxLogit { maxLogit = logit nextToken = i } } inputIds.append(nextToken) if nextToken == 32002 { break } let partialText = try await tokenizer.decode(tokens:inputIds) print(partialText) } } catch { print("❌ Error: \(error)") } } }

Hi all, I’m encountering an issue when trying to run Apple Foundation Models in a blank project targeting iOS 26. Below are the details: Xcode: Latest version with iOS 26 SDK macOS: macOS 26 Tahoe (installed on main disk) Mac: 16” MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip Apple Intelligence: Available and functional on this machine Problem: I created a new blank iOS project, set the deployment target to iOS 26, and ran the following minimal code using Foundation Models. However, I get no response at all in the output - not even an error. The app runs, but the model does not produce any output. #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() let response = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me a story") } Then, I tried to catch an error with this code: #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() do { let response = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me a story") print(response) } catch { print("Failed to get response:", error) } print("This line, never gets executed") } And got these results: I’ve done further testing and discovered something important: I tried running the Code Along sample project, and there the #Playground macro worked without issues. The only significant difference I noticed was the Canvas run destination: In my original project, I was using iPhone 16 Pro (iOS 26) as the run target in Canvas. Apple Intelligence was enabled on the simulator, but no response was returned when executing the prompt. In the sample project, the Canvas was running on My Mac. I attempted to match that setup, but at first, my destination was My Mac (Designed for iPad), which still didn’t work. The macro finally executed properly once I switched to My Mac (AppKit). So the question is ... it seems that for now, Foundation Models and the #Playground macro only run correctly when the canvas or destination is set to “My Mac (AppKit)”?

Hello, I am developing an iOS app that uses machine learning models. To improve accuracy and user experience, I would like to download .mlmodel files (compiled and compressed as zip files) from our own server after the app is installed, and use them for inference within the app. No executable code, scripts, or dynamic libraries will be downloaded—only model data files are used. According to App Store Review Guideline 2.5.2, I understand that apps may not download or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality. In this case, are compiled and zip-compressed .mlmodel files considered "data" rather than "code", and is it allowed to download and use them in the app? If there are any restrictions or best practices related to this, please let me know. Thank you.

v3 was released 2 years ago but developers are unable to convert models created with Keras v3 to CoreML

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.

I couldn't find information about this in the documentation. Could someone clarify if this API is available and how to access it?

Hello, I have a CoreML model and I want to convert it to a PyTorch model. Any ideas if this is possible and if so how?
