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)")
}
}
}

I'm experimenting with the new SpeechTranscriber in macOS/iOS 26, transcribing speech from a prerecorded mp4 file. Speed and quality are amazing!
I've told the transcriber to include time indexes. Each run is always exactly one word, which can be very useful. When I look at the indexes the end of one run is always identical to the start of the next run, even if there's a pause.
I'd like to identify pauses, perhaps to generate something like phrases for subtitling. With each run of text going into the next I can't do this, other than using punctuation - which might be rather rough.
Any suggestions on detecting pauses, or getting that kind of metadata from the transcriber?
Here's a short sample, showing each run with the start, end, and characters in the run:
105.9 --> 107.04 I
107.04 --> 107.16 think
107.16 --> 108.0 more
108.0 --> 108.42 lighting
108.42 --> 108.6 is
108.6 --> 108.72 definitely
108.72 --> 109.2 needed,
109.2 --> 109.92 downtown.
109.98 --> 110.4 My
110.4 --> 110.52 only
110.52 --> 110.7 question
110.7 --> 111.06 is,
111.06 --> 111.48 poll
111.48 --> 111.78 five,
111.78 --> 111.84 that
111.84 --> 112.08 you're
112.08 --> 112.38 increasing
112.38 --> 112.5 the
112.5 --> 113.34 50,000?
113.4 --> 113.58 Where
113.58 --> 113.88 exactly
I'm experimenting with downloading an audio file of spoken content, using the Speech framework to transcribe it, then using FoundationModels to clean up the formatting to add paragraph breaks and such. I have this code to do that cleanup:
private func cleanupText(_ text: String) async throws -> String? {
print("Cleaning up text of length \(text.count)...")
let session = LanguageModelSession(instructions: "The content you read is a transcription of a speech. Separate it into paragraphs by adding newlines. Do not modify the content - only add newlines.")
let response = try await session.respond(to: .init(text), generating: String.self)
return response.content
}
The content length is about 29,000 characters. And I get this error:
InferenceError::inferenceFailed::Failed to run inference: Context length of 4096 was exceeded during singleExtend..
Is 4096 a reference to a max input length? Or is this a bug?
This is running on an M1 iPad Air, with iPadOS 26 Seed 1.
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.

Hello,
I'm unable to develop for Apple Intelligence on my Mac Studio, M1 Max running macOS 26 beta 1.
The models get downloaded and I can also verify that they exist in /System/Library/AssetsV2/ however the download progress remains stuck at 100%.
Checking console logs shows the process generativeexperiencesd reporting the following:
My device region and language is set to English (India).
Things I've already tried:
Changing language and region to English (US)
Reinstalling macOS
Trying with a different ISP via hotspot.
Good morning all has anyone encountered the issue of Siri returning back to her original user interface on IOS-26? I’m trying to figure out the cause. I’ve sent feedback via the feedback app. Just seeing if anyone else has the same issue.
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.

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?
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.
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!
I'm seeing this error a lot in my console log of my iPhone 15 Pro (Apple Intelligence enabled):
com.apple.modelcatalog.catalog sync: connection error during call: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.modelcatalog.catalog was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.modelcatalog.catalog was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction.} reached max num connection attempts: 1
Are there entitlements / permissions I need to enable in Xcode that I forgot to do?
Code example
Here's how I'm initializing the language model session:
private func setupLanguageModelSession() {
if #available(iOS 26.0, *) {
let instructions = """
my instructions
"""
do {
languageModelSession = try LanguageModelSession(instructions: instructions)
print("Foundation Models language model session initialized")
} catch {
print("Error creating language model session: \(error)")
languageModelSession = nil
}
} else {
print("Device does not support Foundation Models (requires iOS 26.0+)")
languageModelSession = nil
}
}
Hi, I just upgraded my macOS with beta 2. After upgrade, the SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp it's stopped working, in Xcode console I read: "The connection to service named com.apple.modelcatalog.catalog was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction."
Note: in beta 1 worked fine

I am calling into an app extension from a Safari Web Extension (sendNativeMessage, which in turn results in a call to NSExtensionRequestHandling’s beginRequest). My Safari extension aims to make use of the new foundation models for some of the features it provides.
In my testing, I hit the rate limit by sending 4 requests, waiting 30 seconds between each. This makes the FoundationModels framework (which would otherwise serve my use case perfectly well) unusable in this context, because the model is called in response to user input, and this rate of user input is perfectly plausible in a real world scenario.
The error thrown as a result of the rate limit is “Safety guardrail was triggered after consecutive failures during streaming.", but looking at the system logs in Console.app shows the rate limit as the real culprit.
My suggestions:
Please introduce sensible rate limits for app extensions, through an entitlement if need be. If it is rate limited to 1 request per every couple of seconds, that would already fix the issue for me.
Please document the rate limit.
Please make the thrown error reflect that it is the result of a rate limit and not a generic guardrail violation. IMPORTANT: please indicate in the thrown error when it is safe to try again.

It seems like there was an undocumented change that made Transcript.init(entries: [Transcript.Entry] initializer private, which broke my application, which relies on (manual) reconstruction of Transcript entries.
Worked fine on beta 1, on beta 2 there's this error

I was able to open a new project and play around with the Foundation Model, but when I dropped this class in a production app (with a lot of files) I'm running into Safety Guardrail errors for this very small prompt. Specifically it's "Safety guardrail was triggered after consecutive failures during streaming." Does it have something to do with the size of the app? I don't know what else to try to get it to work?
import FoundationModels
import Playgrounds
@available(iOS 26.0, *)
#Playground {
Task {
do {
let session = LanguageModelSession()
let prompt = "Write a short story about a talking cat."
let response = try await session.respond(to: prompt)
print(response)
} catch {
print("Error: \(error)")
}
}
}

Hi, I just upgraded to macOS Tahoe Beta 2 and now I'm getting this error when I try to initialize my Foundation Models' session:
Error Resource (Local Sanitizer Asset) unavailable error.
import FoundationModels
#Playground {
let session = LanguageModelSession()
do {
let result = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me 3 colors")
print(result.content)
} catch {
print("Error", error)
}
}
I couldn't find any resource guiding me on how to solve this. Any help/workaround?
Thank you!

For example:
I have a list of to-dos, each with a unique id (a GUID). I want to feed them to the LLM model and have the model rewrite the items so they start with an action verb.
I'd like to get them back and identify which rewritten item corresponds to which original item. I obviously can't compare the text, as it has changed.
I've tried passing the original GUIDs in with each to-do, but the extra GUID characters pollutes the input and confuses the model.
I've tried numbering them in order and adding an originalSortOrder field to my generable type, but it doesn't work reliably.
Any suggestions?
I could do them one at a time, but I also have a use case where I'm asking for them to be organized in sections, and while I've instructed the model not to rename anything, it still happens. It's just all very nondeterministic.
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
