Has anyone been able to run Tensorflow > 2.15 with Tensorflow Metal 1.1.0 on M3? I tried several times but was not successful. Seems like development on TensorFlow Metal has paused?

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!

Hello, I have a CoreML model and I want to convert it to a PyTorch model. Any ideas if this is possible and if so how?

Can't import data in create ML word tagging project training data is 100% correct I guarantee it: I mean look this one has one entry in it. [ { "tokens": [ "a", "august", "gruters" ], "labels": [ "BUILDER", "BUILDER", "BUILDER" ] } ]

Hi all, I’m encountering an issue when trying to run Apple Foundation Models in a blank project targeting iOS 26. Below are the details: Xcode: Latest version with iOS 26 SDK macOS: macOS 26 Tahoe (installed on main disk) Mac: 16” MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip Apple Intelligence: Available and functional on this machine Problem: I created a new blank iOS project, set the deployment target to iOS 26, and ran the following minimal code using Foundation Models. However, I get no response at all in the output - not even an error. The app runs, but the model does not produce any output. #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() let response = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me a story") } Then, I tried to catch an error with this code: #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() do { let response = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me a story") print(response) } catch { print("Failed to get response:", error) } print("This line, never gets executed") } And got these results: I’ve done further testing and discovered something important: I tried running the Code Along sample project, and there the #Playground macro worked without issues. The only significant difference I noticed was the Canvas run destination: In my original project, I was using iPhone 16 Pro (iOS 26) as the run target in Canvas. Apple Intelligence was enabled on the simulator, but no response was returned when executing the prompt. In the sample project, the Canvas was running on My Mac. I attempted to match that setup, but at first, my destination was My Mac (Designed for iPad), which still didn’t work. The macro finally executed properly once I switched to My Mac (AppKit). So the question is ... it seems that for now, Foundation Models and the #Playground macro only run correctly when the canvas or destination is set to “My Mac (AppKit)”?

When I initialize a session with an existing transcript using this initializer: public convenience init(model: SystemLanguageModel = .default, guardrails: LanguageModelSession.Guardrails = .default, tools: [any Tool] = [], transcript: Transcript) The tools get ignored. I noticed that when doing that, the model never use the tools. When inspecting the transcript, I can see that the instruction entry does not have any tools available to it. I tried this for both transcripts that already include an instruction entry and ones that don't - both yielding the same result.. Is this the intended behavior / am I missing something here?

Hello, I am developing an iOS app that uses machine learning models. To improve accuracy and user experience, I would like to download .mlmodel files (compiled and compressed as zip files) from our own server after the app is installed, and use them for inference within the app. No executable code, scripts, or dynamic libraries will be downloaded—only model data files are used. According to App Store Review Guideline 2.5.2, I understand that apps may not download or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality. In this case, are compiled and zip-compressed .mlmodel files considered "data" rather than "code", and is it allowed to download and use them in the app? If there are any restrictions or best practices related to this, please let me know. Thank you.

I'm the creator of an app that helps users learn Arabic. Inside of the app users can save words, engage in lessons specific to certain grammar concepts etc. I'm looking for a way for Siri to 'suggest' my app when the user asks to define any Arabic words. There are other questions that I would like for Siri to suggest my app for, but I figure that's a good start. What framework am I looking for here? I think AppItents? I remember I played with it for a bit last year but didn't get far. Any suggestions would be great. Would the new Foundations model be any help here?

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.

Just tried to write a very simple test of using foundation models, but it gave me the error like this "ModelManager received unentitled request. Expected entitlement com.apple.modelmanager.inference establishment of session failed with Missing entitlement: com.apple.modelmanager.inference" The simple code is listed below: let session: LanguageModelSession = LanguageModelSession() let response = try? await session.respond(to: "What is the capital of France?") print("Response: (response)") So what's the problem of this one?

Hi, recently i tried to fine-tune Gemma-2-2b mlx model on my macbook (24 GB UMA). The code started running, after few seconds i saw swap size reaching 50GB and ram around 23 GB and then it stopped. I ran the Gemma-2-2b (cuda) on colab, it ran and occupied 27 GB on A100 gpu and worked fine. Here i didn't experienced swap issue. Now my question is if my UMA was more than 27 GB, i also would not have experienced swap disk issue. Thanks.

I am using the iPhone 17 Pro simulator that was included with Xcode 26.0.1. My Mac is running macOS 26. When I started the simulator for the first time I got the "Ready for Apple Intelligence" notification but when I access Image Playground in my app it says it is not available on this iPhone. Any solution to get it working on the simulator?

I couldn't find information about this in the documentation. Could someone clarify if this API is available and how to access it?

How do I test the new RecognizeDocumentRequest API. Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-GCNsXdKzM I am running Xcode Beta, however I only have one primary device that I cannot install beta software on. Please provide a strategy for testing. Will simulator work? The new capability is critical to my application, just what I need for structuring document scans and extraction. Thank you.

Hey everyone, Is it possible to generate XML using the “Generable” macro of the Foundation Model Framework?

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?

When calling NLTagger.requestAssets with some languages, it hangs indefinitely both in the simulator and a device. This happens consistently for some languages like greek. An example call is NLTagger.requestAssets(for: .greek, tagScheme: .lemma). Other languages like french return immediately. I captured some logs from Console and found what looks like the repeated attempts to download the asset. I would expect the call to eventually terminate, either loading the asset or failing with an error.

Hi, I have an app that uses Core Data to store user information and display it in various views. I want to know if it's possible to easily integrate this setup with FoundationModels to make it easier for the user to query and manipulate the information, and if so, how would I go about it? Can the model be pointed to the database schema file and the SQLite file sitting in the user's app group container to parse out the information needed? And/or should the NSManagedObjects be made @Generable for better output? Any guidance about this would be useful.
