Hi all, I'm tuning my app prediction speed with Core ML model. I watched and tried the methods in video: Improve Core ML integration with async prediction and Optimize your Core ML usage. I also use instruments to look what's the bottleneck that my prediction speed cannot be faster. Below is the instruments result with my app. its prediction duration is 10.29ms And below is performance report shows the average speed of prediction is 5.55ms, that is about half time of my app prediction! Below is part of my instruments records. I think the prediction should be considered quite frequent. Could it be faster? How to be the same prediction speed as performance report? The prediction speed on macbook Pro M2 is nearly the same as macbook Air M1!

The deployment target for my app was set to iOS 18.1 originally, but now that I'm using Foundational Models framework, it has been set to iOS 26.0. Is this ok?

I have a Generable type with many elements. I am using a stream() to incrementally process the output (Generable.PartiallyGenerated?) content. At the end, I want to pass the final version (not partially generated) to another function. I cannot seem to find a good way to convert from a MyGenerable.PartiallyGenerated to a MyGenerable. Am I missing some functionality in the APIs?

I am watching a few WWDC sessions on Foundation Model and its usage and it looks pretty cool. I was wondering if it is possible to perform RAG on the user documents on the devices and entuallly on iCloud... Let's say I have a lot of pages documents about me and I want the Foundation model to access those information on the documents to answer questions about me that can be retrieved from the documents. How can this be done ? Thanks

Lately I am getting this error. GenerativeModelsAvailability.Parameters: Initialized with invalid language code: en-GB. Expected to receive two-letter ISO 639 code. e.g. 'zh' or 'en'. Falling back to: en Does anyone know what this is and how it can be resolved. The error does not crash the app

In the name of God, please allow initializing GeneratedContent from an array of key-value pairs. It’s literally the same thing KeyValuePairs uses internally, but it would let us initialize structure-like GeneratedContent from dynamic data without resorting to unsafeBitCast hacks.

I am writing to inquire about content exclusion capabilities within Apple Intelligence, particularly regarding the use of configuration files such as .aiignore or .aiexclude—similar to what exists in other AI-assisted coding tools. These mechanisms are highly valuable in managing what content AI systems can access, especially in environments that involve sensitive code or proprietary frameworks. I would appreciate it if anyone could clarify whether Apple Intelligence currently supports any exclusion configuration for AI-assisted features. If so, could you kindly provide documentation or guidance on how developers can implement these controls? If not, Is there any plan to include such feature in future updates?

I'm using Xcode 26 Beta 5 and get errors on any generation I try, however harmless, when wrapped in the #Playground macro. #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() let topic = "pandas" let prompt = "Write a safe and respectful story about (topic)." let response = try await session.respond(to: prompt) Not seeing any issues on simulator or device. Anyone else seeing this or have any ideas? Thanks for any help! Version 26.0 beta 5 (17A5295f) macOS 26.0 Beta (25A5316i)

Trying the Foundation Model framework and when I try to run several sessions in a loop, I'm getting a thrown error that I'm hitting a rate limit. Are these rate limits documented? What's the best practice here? I'm trying to run the models against new content downloaded from a web service where I might get ~200 items in a given download. They're relatively small but there can be that many that want to be processed in a loop.

Hi, DataScannerViewController does't recognize currencies less than 1.00 (e.g. 0.59 USD, 0.99 EUR, etc.). Why? How to solve the problem? This feature is not described in Apple documentation, is there a solution? This is my code: func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> DataScannerViewController { let dataScanner = DataScannerViewController(recognizedDataTypes: [ .text(textContentType: .currency)]) return dataScanner }

In macOS Tahoe 26.2 an RDMA capability was added for Thunderbolt-5 interfaces. This has been demonstrated to significantly decrease the latency and maintain bandwidth for "clustered" Apple Silicon devices with TB5. What is the ideal and the maximum RDMA burst width for transfers over RDMA-enabled Thunderbolt-5 interfaces?

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?

I am excited to try Foundation Models during WWDC, but it doesn't work at all for me. When running on my iPad Pro M4 with iPadOS 26 seed 1, I get the following error even when running the simplest query: let prompt = "How are you?" let stream = session.streamResponse(to: prompt) for try await partial in stream { self.answer = partial self.resultString = partial } In the Xcode console, I see the following error: assetsUnavailable(FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context(debugDescription: "Model is unavailable", underlyingErrors: [])) I have verified that Apple Intelligence is enabled on my iPad. Any tips on how can I get it working? I have also submitted this feedback: FB17896752

I am using a contact tool to help get contact from my address book. but the model ins't invoking my tool call method. Even tried with a simple tool the outcome is the same my simple tool is not being invoked.

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, Are there any plans to compile a python 3.13 version of tensorflow-metal? Just got my new Mac mini and the automatically installed version of python installed by brew is python 3.13 and while if I was in a hurry, I could manage to get python 3.12 installed and use the corresponding tensorflow-metal version but I'm not in a hurry. Many thanks, Alan

Hello, I am testing the sample project provided here: Bringing advanced speech-to-text capabilities to your app. On both macOS 26.0 beta and iOS 26.0 beta, the app crashes immediately on launch with a dyld "Symbol not found" error related to FoundationModels.framework. It feels like this may be related to testing primarily on newer Apple Silicon devices, as I am seeing consistent crashes on an Intel MacBook and on an older iPhone device. I would appreciate any insight, confirmation, or guidance on whether this is a known limitation or if there is a workaround. Is it planned to be resolved soon?

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) } }

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.
