Somehow I'm not able to decrypt our ml models on my machine. It does not matter: If I clean the build / delete the build folder If it's a local build or a build downloaded from our build server I log in as a different user I reboot my system (15.4.1 (24E263) I use a different network Re-generate the encryption keys. I'm the only one in my team confronted with this issue. Using the encrypted models works fine for everyone else. As soon as our application tries to load the bundled ml model the following error is logged and returned: Could not create persistent key blob for CD49E04F-1A42-4FBE-BFC1-2576B89EC233 : error=Error Domain=com.apple.CoreML Code=9 "Failed to generate key request for CD49E04F-1A42-4FBE-BFC1-2576B89EC233 with error: -42908" Error code 9 points to a decryption issue, but offers no useful pointers and suggests that some sort of network request needs to be made in order to decrypt our models. /*! Core ML throws/returns this error when the framework encounters an error in the model decryption subsystem.

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, I have been trying to integrate a CoreML model into Xcode. The model was made using tensorflow layers. I have included both the model info and a link to the app repository. I am mainly just really confused on why its not working. It seems to only be printing the result for case 1 (there are 4 cases labled, case 0, case 1, case 2, and case 3). If someone could help work me through this error that would be great! here is the link to the repository: https://github.com/ShivenKhurana1/Detect-to-Protect-App this file with the model code is called SecondView.swift and here is the model info: Input: conv2d_input-> image (color 224x224) Output: Identity -> MultiArray (Float32 1x4)

I opened a new project, iOS app, in XCode and then tabbed into the system_search snippet and built the project and got a build error. I can't imagine this was intended, at least not for new developers to the ecosystem like me. I solved it by tweaking a configuration I don't really understand advised here: https://github.com/apple/swift-openapi-generator/issues/796, hopefully that's a valid workaround

Hi, unfortunately I am not able to verify this but I remember some time ago I was able to create CoreML models that had one (or more) inputs with an enumerated shape size, and one (or more) inputs with a static shape. This was some months ago. Since then I updated my MacOS to Sequoia 15.5, and when I try to execute MLModels with this setup I get the following error libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type CoreML::MLNeuralNetworkUtilities::AsymmetricalEnumeratedShapesException: A model doesn't allow input features with enumerated flexibility to have unequal number of enumerated shapes, but input feature global_write_indices has 1 enumerated shapes and input feature input_hidden_states has 3 enumerated shapes. It may make sense (but not really though) to verify that for inputs with a flexible enumerated shape they all have the same number of possible shapes is the same, but this should not impede the possibility of also having static shape inputs with a single shape defined alongside the flexible shape inputs.

I am trying to use @AppIntent(schema: .system.search) to search in my app via a Siri voice command, but I want to be able to return a .result that does not open the app, yet still get the model training benefits from the schema. Very new to this, this is my first app, so I would appreciate some guidance. I haven't gotten to the voice part, I tested on Shortcuts. Do I need to do AppIntents without the schema and wait until there is a search schema that does not open the app, or should I be using a different schema? What am I missing?

I am trying to benchmark and see if the Qwen3 1.7B model can run in an iPhone SE 3 [4 GB RAM]. My core problem is - Even with weight quantization the SE 3 is not able to load into memory. What I've tried: I am converting a Torch model to the Core ML format using coremltools. I have tried the following combinations of quantization and context length 8 bit + 1024 8 bit + 2048 4 bit + 1024 4 bit + 2048 All the above quantizations are done with dynamic shape with the default being [1,1] in the hope that the whole context length does not get allocated in memory The 4-bit model is approximately 865MB on disk The 8-bit model is approximately 1.7 GB on disk During load: With the int4 quantization the memory spikes during intitial load a lot. Could this be because many operations are converted to int8 or fp16 as core ML does not perform operations natively on int4? With int8 on the profiler the memory does not go above 2 GB (only 900 MB) but it is still not able to load as it shows the following error. 2GB is the limit where jetsam kills the app for the iPhone SE 3 E5RT: Error(s) occurred compiling MIL to BNNS graph: [CreateBnnsGraphProgramFromMIL]: BNNS Graph Compile: failed to preallocate file with error: No space left on device for path: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/ 5B8BB7D2-06A6-4BAE-A042-407B6D805E7C/Library/Caches /com.tss.qwen3-coreml/ com.apple.e5rt.e5bundlecache/ 23A341/<long key>.tmp.12586_4362093968.bundle/ H14.bundle/main/main_bnns/bnns_program.bnnsir Some online sources have suggested activation quantization but I am unsure if that will have any impact on loading [as the spike is during load and not inference] The model spec also suggests that there is no dequantization happening (for e.g from 4 bit -> fp16) So I had couple of queries: Has anyone faced similar issues? What could be the reasons for the temporary memory spike during LOAD What are approaches that can be adopted to deal with this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm developing an iOS app using Foundation Models and I've hit a critical limitation that I believe affects many developers and millions of users. The Issue Foundation Models requires the device system language to be one of the supported languages. If a user has their device set to an unsupported language (Catalan, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Romanian, and many others), SystemLanguageModel.isSupported returns false and the framework is completely unavailable. Why This Is Problematic Scenario: A Catalan user has their iPhone in Catalan (native language). They want to use an AI chat app in Spanish or English (languages they speak fluently). Current situation: ❌ Foundation Models: Completely unavailable ✅ OpenAI GPT-4: Works perfectly ✅ Anthropic Claude: Works perfectly ✅ Any cloud-based AI: Works perfectly The user must choose between: Keep device in Catalan → Cannot use Foundation Models at all Change entire device to Spanish → Can use Foundation Models but terrible UX Impact This affects: Millions of users in regions where unsupported languages are official Multilingual users who prefer their device in their native language but can comfortably interact with AI in English/Spanish Developers who cannot deploy Foundation Models-based apps in these markets Privacy-conscious users who are ironically forced to use cloud AI instead of on-device AI What We Need One of these solutions would solve the problem: Option 1: Per-app language override (preferred) // Proposed API let session = try await LanguageModelSession(preferredLanguage: "es-ES") Option 2: Faster rollout of additional languages (particularly EU languages) Option 3: Allow fallback to user-selected supported language when system language is unsupported Technical Details Current behavior: // Device in Catalan let isAvailable = SystemLanguageModel.isSupported // Returns false // No way to override or specify alternative language Why This Matters Apple Intelligence and Foundation Models are amazing for privacy and performance. But this language restriction makes the most privacy-focused AI solution less accessible than cloud alternatives. This seems contrary to Apple's values of accessibility and user choice. Questions for the Community Has anyone else encountered this limitation? Are there any workarounds I'm missing? Has anyone successfully filed feedback about this?(Please share FB number so we can reference it) Are there any sessions or labs where this has been discussed? Thanks for reading. I'd love to hear if others are facing this and how you're handling it.

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!

Hi all, I'm capturing a photo using AVCapturePhotoOutput, and I've set: let photoSettings = AVCapturePhotoSettings() photoSettings.isDepthDataDeliveryEnabled = true Then I create the handler like this: let data = photo.fileDataRepresentation() let handler = try ImageRequestHandler(data: data, orientation: .right) Now I’m wondering: If depth data delivery is enabled, is it actually included and used when I pass the Data to ImageRequestHandler? Or do I need to explicitly pass the depth data using the other initializer? let handler = try ImageRequestHandler( cvPixelBuffer: photo.pixelBuffer!, depthData: photo.depthData, orientation: .right ) In short: Does ImageRequestHandler(data:) make use of embedded depth info from AVCapturePhoto.fileDataRepresentation() — or is the pixel buffer + explicit depth data required? Thanks for any clarification!

I have a mac (M4, MacBook Pro) running Tahoe 26.0 beta. I am running Xcode beta. I can run code that uses the LLM in a #Preview { }. But when I try to run the same code in the simulator, I get the 'device not ready' error and I see the following in the Settings app. Is there anything I can do to get the simulator to past this point and allowing me to test on it with Apple's LLM?

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 get the following dyld error on an iPad Pro with Xcode 26 beta 4: Symbol not found: _$s16FoundationModels20LanguageModelSessionC7prewarm12promptPrefixyAA6PromptVSg_tF Any advice?

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 everyone, I am using Xcode 16.4 in MacOS Sequoia 15.5 with Apple Intelligence turned on. The following code gives the error message in the title: import NaturalLanguage @available(iOS 18.0, *) func testSystemModel() { let model = SystemLanguageModel.default print(model) } What am I missing?

I am trying to test FoundationModels in a Swift Playground in Xcode 26.2, macOS 26.3, and am running into an issue. The following simple code generates an error: import FoundationModels @Generable struct Specifications { @Guide(description: "Search for color") var color: String } I see the following error message in the console: error: AIPlayground.playground:4:8: external macro implementation type 'FoundationModelsMacros.GenerableMacro' could not be found for macro 'Generable(description:)'; plugin for module 'FoundationModelsMacros' not found The Xcode editor does not appear to recognize the @Generable or @Guide macros, despite importing FoundationModels. What step/setting am I missing?

I am trying to create a slightly different version of the content tagging code in the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels/systemlanguagemodel/usecase/contenttagging In the playground I am getting an "Inference Provider crashed with 2:5" error. I have no idea what that means or how to address the error. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hey, I receive GenerableContent as follows: let response = try await session.respond(to: "", schema: generationSchema) And it wraps GeneratedJSON which seems to be private. What is the best way to get a string / raw value out of it? I noticed it could theoretically be accessed via transcriptEntries but it's not ideal.

I've been successfully integrating the Foundation Models framework into my healthcare app using structured generation with @Generable schemas. While my initial testing (20-30 iterations) shows promising results, I need to validate consistency and reliability at scale before production deployment. Question Is there a recommended approach for automated, large-scale testing of Foundation Models responses? Specifically, I'm looking to: Automate 1000+ test iterations with consistent prompts and structured schemas Measure response consistency across identical inputs Validate structured output reliability (proper schema adherence, no generation failures) Collect performance metrics (TTFT, TPS) for optimization Specific Questions Framework Limitations: Are there any undocumented rate limits or thermal throttling considerations for rapid session creation/destruction? Performance Tools: Can Xcode's Foundation Models Instrument be used programmatically, or only through Instruments UI? Automation Integration: Any recommendations for integrating with testing frameworks? Session Reuse: Is it better to reuse a single LanguageModelSession or create fresh sessions for each test iteration? Use Case Context My wellness app provides medically safe activity recommendations based on user health profiles. The Foundation Models framework processes health context and generates structured recommendations for exercises, nutrition, and lifestyle activities. Given the safety implications of providing health-related guidance, I need rigorous validation to ensure the model consistently produces appropriate, well-formed recommendations across diverse user scenarios and health conditions. Has anyone in the community built similar large-scale testing infrastructure for Foundation Models? Any insights on best practices or potential pitfalls would be greatly appreciated.
