I'm attempting to run a basic Foundation Model prototype in Xcode 26, but I'm getting the error below, using the iPhone 16 simulator with iOS 26. Should these models be working yet? Do I need to be running macOS 26 for these to work? (I hope that's not it)

Hello!
I have a TrackNet model that I have converted to CoreML (.mlpackage) using coremltools, and the conversion process appears to go smoothly as I get the .mlpackage file I am looking for with the weights and model.mlmodel file in the folder. However, when I drag it into Xcode, it just shows up as 4 script tags instead of the model "interface" that is typically expected. I initially was concerned that my model was not compatible with CoreML, but upon logging the conversions, everything seems to be converted properly.
I have some code that may be relevant in debugging this issue:
How I use the model:
model = BallTrackerNet() # this is the model architecture which will be referenced later
device = self.device # cpu
model.load_state_dict(torch.load("models/balltrackerbest.pt", map_location=device)) # balltrackerbest is the weights
model = model.to(device)
model.eval()
Here is the BallTrackerNet() model itself
import torch.nn as nn
import torch
class ConvBlock(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=3, pad=1, stride=1, bias=True):
super().__init__()
self.block = nn.Sequential(
nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size, stride=stride, padding=pad, bias=bias),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.BatchNorm2d(out_channels)
)
def forward(self, x):
return self.block(x)
class BallTrackerNet(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, out_channels=256):
super().__init__()
self.out_channels = out_channels
self.conv1 = ConvBlock(in_channels=9, out_channels=64)
self.conv2 = ConvBlock(in_channels=64, out_channels=64)
self.pool1 = nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2)
self.conv3 = ConvBlock(in_channels=64, out_channels=128)

nn.init.constant_(module.bias, 0)
elif isinstance(module, nn.BatchNorm2d):

nn.init.constant_(module.bias, 0)
I have been struggling with this conversion for almost 2 weeks now so any help, ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi, i just wanna ask, Is it possible to run YOLOv3 on visionOS using the main camera to detect objects and show bounding boxes with labels in real-time? I’m wondering if camera access and custom models work for this, or if there’s a better way. Any tips?
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!
Has Apple made any commitment to versioning the Foundation Models on device? What if you build a feature that works great on 26.0 but they change the model or guardrails in 26.1 and it breaks your feature, is your only recourse filing Feedback or pulling the feature from the app? Will there be a way to specify a model version like in all of the server based LLM provider APIs? If not, sounds risky to build on.
I'm using Numbers to build a spreadsheet that I'm exporting as a CSV. I then import this file into Create ML to train a word tagger model. Everything has been working fine for all the models I've trained so far, but now I'm coming across a use case that has been breaking the import process: commas within the training data. This is a case that none of Apple's examples show.
My project takes Navajo text that has been tokenized by syllables and labels the parts-of-speech.
Case that works...
Raw text:
Naaltsoos yídéeshtah.
Tokens column:
Naal,tsoos, ,yí,déesh,tah,.
Labels column:
NObj,NObj,Space,Verb,Verb,VStem,Punct
Case that breaks...
Raw text:
óola, béésh łigaii, tłʼoh naadą́ą́ʼ, wáin, akʼah, dóó á,shįįh
Tokens column with tokenized text (commas quoted):
óo,la,",", ,béésh, ,łi,gaii,",", ,tłʼoh, ,naa,dą́ą́ʼ,",", ,wáin,",", ,a,kʼah,",", ,dóó, ,á,shįįh
(Create ML reports mismatched columns)
Tokens column with tokenized text (commas escaped):
óo,la,\,, ,béésh, ,łi,gaii,\,, ,tłʼoh, ,naa,dą́ą́ʼ,\,, ,wáin,\,, ,a,kʼah,\,, ,dóó, ,á,shįįh
(Create ML reports mismatched columns)
Tokens column with tokenized text (commas escape-quoted):
óo,la,\",\", ,béésh, ,łi,gaii,\",\", ,tłʼoh, ,naa,dą́ą́ʼ,\",\", ,wáin,\",\", ,a,kʼah,\",\", ,dóó, ,á,shįįh
(record not detected by Create ML)
Tokens column with tokenized text (commas escape-quoted):
óo,la,"","", ,béésh, ,łi,gaii,"","", ,tłʼoh, ,naa,dą́ą́ʼ,"","", ,wáin,"","", ,a,kʼah,"","", ,dóó, ,á,shįįh
(Create ML reports mismatched columns)
Labels column:
NSub,NSub,Punct,Space,NSub,Space,NSub,NSub,Punct,Space,NSub,Space,NSub,NSub,Punct,Space,NSub,Punct,Space,NSub,NSub,Punct,Space,Conj,Space,NSub,NSub
Sample From Spreadsheet
Solution Needed
It's simple enough to escape commas within CSV files, but the format needed by Create ML essentially combines entire CSV records into single columns, so I'm ending up needing a CSV record that contains a mixture of commas to use for parsing and ones to use as character literals. That's where this gets complicated.
For this particular use case (which seems like it would frequently arise when training a word tagger model), how should I properly escape a comma literal?

Not finding a lot on the Swift Assist technology announced at WWDC 2024. Does anyone know the latest status? Also, currently I use OpenAI's macOS app and its 'Work With...' functionality to assist with Xcode development, and this is okay, certainly saves copying code back and forth, but it seems like AI should be able to do a lot more to help with Xcode app development.
I guess I'm looking at what people are doing with AI in Visual Studio, Cline, Cursor and other IDEs and tools like those and feel a bit left out working in Xcode. Please let me know if there are AI tools or techniques out there you use to help with your Xcode projects.
Thanks in advance!

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!
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!

Hello!
I'm following the Foundation Models adapter training guide (https://developer.apple.com/apple-intelligence/foundation-models-adapter/) on my NVIDIA DGX Spark box. I'm able to train on my own data but the example notebook fails when I try to export the artifact as an fmadapter. I get the following error for the code block I'm trying to run. I haven't touched any of the code in the export folder. I tried exporting it on my Mac too and got the same error as well (given below). Would appreciate some more clarity around this. Thank you.

Hello, I need help I desire to select/filter the contours on an image. Not sure best way to do that. Idea select/filter for bottom left most contour? see image attached please. also will need end points or court corners. and need contour to be fine line, smooth, ie accurate of the court end line and side lines only is desired. thank you :) or also glad for other ideas or api to determine the lines/corners I need.
glad to email to discuss if that is better/easier actually prefer that. thanks.
I have rewatched WWDC22 a few times , but still not getting full understanding how to get .mlmodel model file type from components .
Example with banana ripeness is cool , but what need to be added to actually have output of .mlmodel , is somewhere full sample code for this type of modular project ?
Code is from [https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10019)
import CoreImage
import CreateMLComponents
struct ImageRegressor {
static let trainingDataURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "~/Desktop/bananas")
static let parametersURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "~/Desktop/parameters")
static func train() async throws -> some Transformer<CIImage, Float> {
let estimator = ImageFeaturePrint()
.appending(LinearRegressor())
// File name example: banana-5.jpg
let data = try AnnotatedFiles(labeledByNamesAt: trainingDataURL, separator: "-", index: 1, type: .image)
.mapFeatures(ImageReader.read)
.mapAnnotations({ Float($0)! })
let (training, validation) = data.randomSplit(by: 0.8)
let transformer = try await estimator.fitted(to: training, validateOn: validation)
try estimator.write(transformer, to: parametersURL)
return transformer
}
}
I have tried to run it in Mac OS command line type app, Swift-UI but most what I had as output was .pkg with
"pipeline.json,
parameters,
optimizer.json,

No matter what, the LanguageModelSession always returns very lengthy / verbose responses. I set the maximumResponseTokens option to various small numbers but it doesn't appear to have any effect. I've even used this instructions format to keep responses between 3-8 words but it returns multiple paragraphs. Is there a way to manage LLM response length? Thanks.
When using Foundation Models, is it possible to ask the model to produce output in a specific language, apart from giving an instruction like "Provide answers in ." ? (I tried that and it kind of worked, but it seems fragile.)
I haven't noticed an API to do so and have a use-case where the output should be in a user-selectable language that is not the current system language.
import coremltools as ct
from coremltools.models.neural_network import quantization_utils
# load full precision model
model_fp32 = ct.models.MLModel(modelPath)
model_fp16 = quantization_utils.quantize_weights(model_fp32, nbits=16)
model_fp16.save("reduced-model.mlmodel")
I'm testing it with the model from one of Apple's source codes(GameBoardDetector), and it works fine, reduces the model size by half.
But there are several problems with my model(trained on CreateML app using Full Network):
Quantizing to float 16 does not work(new file gets created with reduced only 0.1mb).
Quantizing to below 16 values cause errors, and no file gets created.
Here are additional metadata and precisions of models.
Working model's additional metadata and precision:
Mine's additional metadata and precision:
I have exported a Pytorch model into a CoreML mlpackage file and imported the model file into my iOS project. The model is a Music Source Separation model - running prediction on audio-spectrogram blocks and returning separated audio source spectrograms.
Model produces correct results vs. desktop+GPU+Python but the inference on iPhone 15 Pro Max is really, really slow. Using Xcode model Performance tool I can see that the inference isn't automatically managed between compute units - all of it runs on CPU. The Performance tool notation hints all that ops should be supported by both the GPU and Neural Engine.
One thing to note, that when initializing the model with MLModelConfiguration option .cpuAndGPU or .cpuAndNeuralEngine there is an error in Xcode console:
`Error(s) occurred compiling MIL to BNNS graph:
[CreateBnnsGraphProgramFromMIL]: Failed to determine convolution kernel at location at /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/2E3C4AFF-1FA4-4C95-AAE4-ECEBC0FB0BF9/mymss.app/mymss.mlmodelc/model.mil:2453:12
@ CreateBnnsGraphProgramFromMIL`
Before going back hammering the model in Python, are there any tips/strategies I could try in CoreMLTools export phase or in configuring the model for prediction on iOS?
My export toolchain is currently Linux with CoreMLTools v8.1, export target iOS16.
I couldn't find information about this in the documentation. Could someone clarify if this API is available and how to access it?
The WWDC25: Explore large language models on Apple silicon with MLX video talks about using your own data to fine-tune a large language model. But the video doesn't explain what kind of data can be used. The video just shows the command to use and how to point to the data folder. Can I use PDFs, Word documents, Markdown files to train the model? Are there any code examples on GitHub that demonstrate how to do this?
Are there any details available on how Xcode 26 connects to third party model providers? For example, can Xcode only use OpenAI compatible API endpoints?
