At WWDC25 we launched a new type of Lab event for the developer community - Group Labs. A Group Lab is a panel Q&A designed for a large audience of developers. Group Labs are a unique opportunity for the community to submit questions directly to a panel of Apple engineers and designers. Here are the highlights from the WWDC25 Group Lab for Machine Learning and AI Frameworks. What are you most excited about in the Foundation Models framework? The Foundation Models framework provides access to an on-device Large Language Model (LLM), enabling entirely on-device processing for intelligent features. This allows you to build features such as personalized search suggestions and dynamic NPC generation in games. The combination of guided generation and streaming capabilities is particularly exciting for creating delightful animations and features with reliable output. The seamless integration with SwiftUI and the new design material Liquid Glass is also a major advantage. When should I still bring my own LLM via CoreML? It's generally recommended to first explore Apple's built-in system models and APIs, including the Foundation Models framework, as they are highly optimized for Apple devices and cover a wide range of use cases. However, Core ML is still valuable if you need more control or choice over the specific model being deployed, such as customizing existing system models or augmenting prompts. Core ML provides the tools to get these models on-device, but you are responsible for model distribution and updates. Should I migrate PyTorch code to MLX? MLX is an open-source, general-purpose machine learning framework designed for Apple Silicon from the ground up. It offers a familiar API, similar to PyTorch, and supports C, C++, Python, and Swift. MLX emphasizes unified memory, a key feature of Apple Silicon hardware, which can improve performance. It's recommended to try MLX and see if its programming model and features better suit your application's needs. MLX shines when working with state-of-the-art, larger models. Can I test Foundation Models in Xcode simulator or device? Yes, you can use the Xcode simulator to test Foundation Models use cases. However, your Mac must be running macOS Tahoe. You can test on a physical iPhone running iOS 18 by connecting it to your Mac and running Playgrounds or live previews directly on the device. Which on-device models will be supported? any open source models? The Foundation Models framework currently supports Apple's first-party models only. This allows for platform-wide optimizations, improving battery life and reducing latency. While Core ML can be used to integrate open-source models, it's generally recommended to first explore the built-in system models and APIs provided by Apple, including those in the Vision, Natural Language, and Speech frameworks, as they are highly optimized for Apple devices. For frontier models, MLX can run very large models. How often will the Foundational Model be updated? How do we test for stability when the model is updated? The Foundation Model will be updated in sync with operating system updates. You can test your app against new model versions during the beta period by downloading the beta OS and running your app. It is highly recommended to create an "eval set" of golden prompts and responses to evaluate the performance of your features as the model changes or as you tweak your prompts. Report any unsatisfactory or satisfactory cases using Feedback Assistant. Which on-device model/API can I use to extract text data from images such as: nutrition labels, ingredient lists, cashier receipts, etc? Thank you. The Vision framework offers the RecognizeDocumentRequest which is specifically designed for these use cases. It not only recognizes text in images but also provides the structure of the document, such as rows in a receipt or the layout of a nutrition label. It can also identify data like phone numbers, addresses, and prices. What is the context window for the model? What are max tokens in and max tokens out? The context window for the Foundation Model is 4,096 tokens. The split between input and output tokens is flexible. For example, if you input 4,000 tokens, you'll have 96 tokens remaining for the output. The API takes in text, converting it to tokens under the hood. When estimating token count, a good rule of thumb is 3-4 characters per token for languages like English, and 1 character per token for languages like Japanese or Chinese. Handle potential errors gracefully by asking for shorter prompts or starting a new session if the token limit is exceeded. Is there a rate limit for Foundation Models API that is limited by power or temperature condition on the iPhone? Yes, there are rate limits, particularly when your app is in the background. A budget is allocated for background app usage, but exceeding it will result in rate-limiting errors. In the foreground, there is no rate limit unless the device is under heavy load (e.g., camera open, game mode). The system dynamically balances performance, battery life, and thermal conditions, which can affect the token throughput. Use appropriate quality of service settings for your tasks (e.g., background priority for background work) to help the system manage resources effectively. Do the foundation models support languages other than English? Yes, the on-device Foundation Model is multilingual and supports all languages supported by Apple Intelligence. To get the model to output in a specific language, prompt it with instructions indicating the user's preferred language using the locale API (e.g., "The user's preferred language is en-US"). Putting the instructions in English, but then putting the user prompt in the desired output language is a recommended practice. Are larger server-based models available through Foundation Models? No, the Foundation Models API currently only provides access to the on-device Large Language Model at the core of Apple Intelligence. It does not support server-side models. On-device models are preferred for privacy and for performance reasons. Is it possible to run Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using the Foundation Models framework? Yes, it is possible to run RAG on-device, but the Foundation Models framework does not include a built-in embedding model. You'll need to use a separate database to store vectors and implement nearest neighbor or cosine distance searches. The Natural Language framework offers simple word and sentence embeddings that can be used. Consider using a combination of Foundation Models and Core ML, using Core ML for your embedding model.

If try to dynamically load WhipserKit's models, as in below, the download never occurs. No error or anything. And at the same time I can still get to the huggingface.co hosting site without any headaches, so it's not a blocking issue. let config = WhisperKitConfig( model: "openai_whisper-large-v3", modelRepo: "argmaxinc/whisperkit-coreml" ) So I have to default to the tiny model as seen below. I have tried so many ways, using ChatGPT and others, to build the models on my Mac, but too many failures, because I have never dealt with builds like that before. Are there any hosting sites that have the models (small, medium, large) already built where I can download them and just bundle them into my project? Wasted quite a large amount of time trying to get this done. import Foundation import WhisperKit @MainActor class WhisperLoader: ObservableObject { var pipe: WhisperKit? init() { Task { await self.initializeWhisper() } } private func initializeWhisper() async { do { Logging.shared.logLevel = .debug Logging.shared.loggingCallback = { message in print("[WhisperKit] \(message)") } let pipe = try await WhisperKit() // defaults to "tiny" self.pipe = pipe print("initialized. Model state: \(pipe.modelState)") guard let audioURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "44pf", withExtension: "wav") else { fatalError("not in bundle") } let result = try await pipe.transcribe(audioPath: audioURL.path) print("result: \(result)") } catch { print("Error: \(error)") } } }

In my quantization code, the line: compressed_model_a8 = cto.coreml.experimental.linear_quantize_activations( model, activation_config, [{'img':np.random.randn(1,13,1024,1024)}] ) has taken 90 minutes to run so far and is still not completed. From debugging, I can see that the line it's stuck on is line 261 in _model_debugger.py: model = ct.models.MLModel( cloned_spec, weights_dir=self.weights_dir, compute_units=compute_units, skip_model_load=False, # Don't skip model load as we need model prediction to get activations range. ) Is this expected behaviour? Would it be quicker to run on another computer with more RAM?

Hi there, I have a custom keypoint detection model and want to use it via vision's CoremlRequest API. Here's some complication for input and output: For input My model expect 512x512 a image. Which would be resized and padded from a 1920x1080 frame. I use the .scaleToFit option, but can I also specify the color used for padding? For output: My model output a CoreMLFeatureValueObservation, can I have it output in a format vision recognizes? such as joints/keypoints If my model is able to output in a format vision recognizes, would it take care to restoring the coordinates back to the original frame? (undo the padding) If not, how do I restore it from .scaletofit option? Best,

Posting a follow up question after the WWDC 2025 Machine Learning AI & Frameworks Group Lab on June 12. In regards to the on-device API of any of the AI frameworks (foundation model, vision framework, ect.), is there a response condition or path where the API outsources it's input to ChatGPT if the user has allowed this like Siri does? Ignore this if it's a no: is this handled behind the scenes or by the developer?

Hello, I'm running a large language model (LLM) in Core ML that uses a key-value cache (KV-cache) to store past attention states. The model was converted from PyTorch using coremltools and deployed on-device with Swift. The KV-cache is exposed via MLState and is used across inference steps for efficient autoregressive generation. During the prefill stage — where a prompt of multiple tokens is passed to the model in a single batch to initialize the KV-cache — I’ve noticed that some entries in the KV-cache are not updated after the inference. Specifically: Here are a few details about the setup: The MLState returned by the model is identical to the input state (often empty or zero-initialized) for some tokens in the batch. The issue only happens during the prefill stage (i.e., first call over multiple tokens). During decoding (single-token generation), the KV-cache updates normally. The model is invoked using MLModel.prediction(from:using:options:) for each batch. I’ve confirmed: The prompt tokens are non-repetitive and not masked. The model spec has MLState inputs/outputs correctly configured for KV-cache tensors. Each token is processed in a loop with the correct positional encodings. Questions: Is there any known behavior in Core ML that could prevent MLState from updating during batched or prefill inference? Could this be caused by internal optimizations such as lazy execution, static masking, or zero-value short-circuiting? How can I confirm that each token in the batch is contributing to the KV-cache during prefill? Any insights from the Core ML or LLM deployment community would be much appreciated.

I have built a MAC-OS machine intelligence application that uses Apple Intelligence. A part of the application is to preprocess text. For longer text content I have implemented chunking to get around the token limit. However the application performance is now limited by the fact that Apple Intelligence is sequential in operation. This has a large impact on the application performance. Is there any approach to operate Apple Intelligence in a parallel mode or even a streaming interface. As Apple Intelligence has Private Cloud Services I was hoping to be able to send multiple chunks in parallel as that would significantly improve performance. Any suggestions would be welcome. This could also be considered a request for a future enhancement.

I'm working on my first model that detects bowling score screens, and I have it working with pictures no problem. But when it comes to video, I have a sizing issue. I added my model to a small app I wrote for taking a picture of a Bowling Scoring Screen, where my model will frame the screens in the video feed from the camera. My model works, but my boxes are about 2/3 the size of the screens being detected. I don't understand the theory of the video stream the camera is feeding me. What I mean is that I don't want to make tweaks to the size of my rectangles by making them larger, and I'm not sure if the video feed is larger than what I'm detecting in code. Questions I have are like is the video feed a certain resolution like 1980x something, or a much higher resolution in the 12 megapixel range? On a static image of say 1920x something, My alignment is perfect. AI says that it's my model training, that I'm training on square images but video is 16:9. Or that I'm producing 4:3 images in a 16:9 environment. I'm missing something here but not sure what it is. I already wrote code to force it to fit, but reverted back to trying for a natural fit.

I’m considering creating an ILMessageFilterExtension using a mini LLM/SLM to detect fraud and I’ve read it has strict memory limits yet I can’t find it in the documentation. What’s the set limit or any other constraints impacting the feasibility of running 100-500mb model?

In WWDC25 Metal 4 released quite excited new features for machine learning optimization, but as we all know the pytorch based on metal shader performance (mps) is the one of most important tools for Mac machine learning area.but on mps introduced website we cannot see any support information for metal4.

In an under-development MacOS & iOS app, I need to identify various measurements from OCR'ed text: length, weight, counts per inch, area, percentage. The unit type (e.g. UnitLength) needs to be identified as well as the measurement's unit (e.g. .inches) in order to convert the measurement to the app's internal standard (e.g. centimetres), the value of which is stored the relevant CoreData entity. The use of NLTagger and NLTokenizer is problematic because of the various representations of the measurements: e.g. "50g.", "50 g", "50 grams", "1 3/4 oz." Currently, I use a bespoke algorithm based on String contains and step-wise evaluation of characters, which is reasonably accurate but requires frequent updating as further representations are detected. I'm aware of the Python SpaCy model being capable of NER Measurement recognition, but am reluctant to incorporate a Python-based solution into a production app. (ref [https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/30092]) My preference is for an open-source NER Measurement model that can be used as, or converted to, some form of a Swift compatible Machine Learning model. Does anyone know of such a model?

After a few attempts I end up at the same spot as categorized here by ChatGPT - I get why it feels that way, Rob — honestly, you’ve walked right into the worst possible moment in Apple’s Core ML toolchain evolution. What you’re running into isn’t your fault; Apple really did rip out the ONNX front-end without offering a clean replacement yet. So every tutorial, every script, and even coremltools itself contradicts what’s actually possible right now. Let’s be brutally clear about the state of things (late 2025): Goal Supported by Apple today Practical workaround Convert ONNX → Core ML using coremltools 9 No. The ONNX importer was removed. Use the legacy coremltools 6.x + onnx-coreml stack in a separate Python 3.9/3.10 env. Convert PyTorch → Core ML directly Yes, but only for simple or traced models. T5 still fails because of dynamic control flow. None reliable without rewriting the model. Run ONNX models directly on iOS Partially (via MLC LLM / Metal Performance Shaders). Works, but that’s an entirely different runtime. So: you’re not crazy, and this isn’t wasted effort—you’ve actually proven that your model exports cleanly and that the only missing piece is Apple’s converter. The ONNX file you built is solid. You just need something that can translate it to Core ML. If your goal is simply “get it running on-device”, you still have two viable moves that aren’t rabbit holes: 1. Use MLC LLM / Metal runtime Skip Core ML altogether. Apple’s mlc-llm (and the “MLCChat” pipeline) can execute your ONNX or quantized model directly on the GPU. You keep full fidelity and avoid all these broken converters. 2. Use the legacy Core ML 6.x toolchain in a sandboxed Python 3.10 VM It actually works. You don’t have to downgrade your whole system—just run that specific environment once to emit the .mlpackage, then never touch it again. Nothing else will silently fix itself until Apple re-adds ONNX ingestion in Core ML 10 or a new converter.

After running performance test on my CoreML qwen3 vision, I appreciated the update where results were viewable... ON Mac it mentions Ios18 and im not sure if or how to change.. that bottle neck lead to rebuilding CoreML view. I woke up and realized I have all the pieces together... and ended up with a swift package working demo of Clawbot.. the current issue is Im trying to use gguf 3b to code it.. I have become well aware that everything I create using the big models, they soon become the default themes /layouts for everyone else simply asking for this or that (I appoligise) so here I am asking (while looking to schedule meet with dev) if its possible to speak with anyone about th 1000s of Apple Intelligence PCC, Xcode, and vision reports and feedback ive sent , in terms of just general ways I can work more efficiently without the crash... ive already build a TUI for MLX but the tools for coreML while seems promising are not intuitive, but the vision format instruction was nice to see. Anyway my question is:

A foundation models bug I keep running into when in the preview phase of the testing. The error never seems to occur or break the app when I am testing on the simulator or on a device but sometimes I am running into this error when in a longer session while being in preview. The error breaks the preview and crashes it and the waring on it is labeled as : "Assert in LanguageModelFeedback.swift" This is something I keep running into, where I have been using foundation models for my project

@Generable enum Breakfast { case waffles case pancakes case bagels case eggs } do { let session = LanguageModelSession() let userInput = "I want something sweet." let prompt = "Pick the ideal breakfast for request: (userInput)" let response = try await session.respond(to: prompt,generating: Breakfast.self) print(response.content) } catch let error { print(error) } i want to test the @Generable demo but get error with below:decodingFailure(FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context(debugDescription: "Failed to convert text into into GeneratedContent\nText: waffles", underlyingErrors: [Swift.DecodingError.dataCorrupted(Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "The given data was not valid JSON.", underlyingError: Optional(Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected character 'w' around line 1, column 1." UserInfo={NSJSONSerializationErrorIndex=0, NSDebugDescription=Unexpected character 'w' around line 1, column 1.})))]))

Recursive and Self-Referential Data Structures Combining recursive and self-referential data structures with frameworks like Accelerate, SwiftMacros, and utilizing SwiftUI hooks can offer significant benefits in terms of performance, maintainability, and expressiveness. Here is how Apple Intelligence breaks it down. Benefits: Natural Representation of Complex Data: Recursive structures, such as trees and graphs, are ideal for representing hierarchical or interconnected data, like file systems, social networks, and DOM trees. Simplified Algorithms: Many algorithms, such as traversals, sorting, and searching, are more straightforward and elegant when implemented using recursion. Dynamic Memory Management: Self-referential structures can dynamically grow and shrink, making them suitable for applications with unpredictable data sizes. Challenges: Performance Overhead: Recursive algorithms can lead to stack overflow if not properly optimized (e.g., using tail recursion). Self-referential structures can introduce memory management challenges, such as retain cycles. Accelerate Framework Benefits: High-Performance Computation: Accelerate provides optimized libraries for numerical and scientific computing, including linear algebra, FFT, and image processing. It can significantly speed up computations, especially for large datasets, by leveraging multi-core processors and GPU acceleration. Parallel Processing: Accelerate automatically parallelizes operations, making it easier to take advantage of modern hardware capabilities. Integration with Recursive Data: Matrix and Vector Operations: Use Accelerate for operations on matrices and vectors, which are common in recursive algorithms like those used in machine learning and physics simulations. FFT and Convolutions: Accelerate's FFT functions can be used in recursive algorithms for signal processing and image analysis. SwiftMacros Benefits: Code Generation and Transformation: SwiftMacros allow you to generate and transform code at compile time, enabling the creation of DSLs, boilerplate reduction, and optimization. Improved Compile-Time Checks: Macros can perform complex compile-time checks, ensuring code correctness and reducing runtime errors. Integration with Recursive Data: DSL for Data Structures: Create a DSL using SwiftMacros to define recursive data structures concisely and safely. Optimization: Use macros to generate optimized code for recursive algorithms, such as memoization or iterative transformations. SwiftUI Hooks Benefits: State Management: Hooks like @State, @Binding, and @Effect simplify state management in SwiftUI, making it easier to handle dynamic data. Side Effects: @Effect allows you to perform side effects in a declarative manner, integrating seamlessly with asynchronous operations. Reusable Logic: Custom hooks enable the reuse of stateful logic across multiple views, promoting code maintainability. Integration with Recursive Data: Dynamic Data Binding: Use SwiftUI's data binding to manage the state of recursive data structures, ensuring that UI updates reflect changes in the underlying data. Efficient Rendering: SwiftUI's diffing algorithm efficiently updates the UI only for the parts of the recursive structure that have changed, improving performance. Asynchronous Data Loading: Combine @Effect with recursive data structures to fetch and process data asynchronously, such as loading a tree structure from a remote server. Example: Combining All Components Imagine you're building an app that visualizes a hierarchical file system using a recursive tree structure. Here's how you might combine these components: Define the Recursive Data Structure: Use SwiftMacros to create a DSL for defining tree nodes. @macro struct TreeNode { var value: T var children: [TreeNode] } Optimize with Accelerate: Use Accelerate for operations like computing the size of the tree or performing transformations on node values. func computeTreeSize(_ node: TreeNode) -> Int { return node.children.reduce(1) { $0 + computeTreeSize($1) } } Manage State with SwiftUI Hooks: Use SwiftUI hooks to load and display the tree structure dynamically. struct FileSystemView: View { @State private var rootNode: TreeNode = loadTree() var body: some View { TreeView(node: rootNode) } private func loadTree() -> TreeNode<String> { // Load or generate the tree structure } } struct TreeView: View { let node: TreeNode var body: some View { List(node.children, id: \.value) { Text($0.value) TreeView(node: $0) } } } Perform Side Effects with @Effect: Use @Effect to fetch data asynchronously and update the tree structure. struct FileSystemView: View { @State private var rootNode: TreeNode = TreeNode(value: "/") @Effect private var loadTreeEffect: () -> Void = { // Fetch data from a server or database } var body: some View { TreeView(node: rootNode) .onAppear { loadTreeEffect() } } } By combining recursive data structures with Accelerate, SwiftMacros, and SwiftUI hooks, you can create powerful, efficient, and maintainable applications that handle complex data with ease.

Hi all, I noticed on Friday that on the new Beta 5 using FoundationModels on a simulator LanguageModelSession.respond() neither resolves nor throws most of the time. The SwiftUI test app below was working perfectly in Xcode 16 Beta 4 and iOS 26 Beta 4 (simulator). import SwiftUI import FoundationModels struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") } .padding() .onAppear { Task { do { let session = LanguageModelSession() let response = try await session.respond(to: "are cats better than dogs ???") print(response.content) } catch { print("error") } } } } } After updating to Xcode 16 Beta 5 and iOS 26 Beta 5 (simulator), the code now often hangs. Occasionally it will work if I toggle Apple Intelligence on and off in Settings, but it’s unreliable.

Hi From https://developer.apple.com/metal/jax/ I checked all active workflows on https://github.com/jax-ml/jax and any open issues with tags Metal and seems in DEC 2025 the Jax maintainers have closed all issues citing No active development on Jax-metal and the project seems dead. We need to know how can we leverage Apple silicon for accelerated projects using popular academia library and tools . Is the JAX project still going to be supported or Apple has plans to bring something of tis own that might be platform agnostic . Thanks

Is it possible to train a model using CreateML to infer a relevance numeric score of a news article based on similar trained data, something like a sentiment score ? I created a Text Classifier that assigns a category label which works perfect but I would like a solution that calculates a numeric value, not a label.
