I have a question. In China, long pressing a picture in the album can segment the target. Is this model a local model? Is there any information? Can developers use it?

Hi all, I'm working on an app that utilizes the FoundationModels found in iOS 26. I updated my phone to iOS 26 beta 3 and am now receiving the following error when trying to run code that worked in beta 2:
Al Error: The operation couldn't be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.Genera-
tionError error 2.)
I admit I'm a bit of a new developer, but any idea if this is an issue with beta 3 or work that I'll need to do to adapt my code to some changes in the AI API?
Thank you!

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.

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 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.

Does anyone know if ExecuTorch is officially supported or has been successfully used on visionOS? If so, are there any specific build instructions, example projects, or potential issues (like sandboxing or memory limitations) to be aware of when integrating it into an Xcode project for the Vision Pro?
While ExecuTorch has support for iOS, I can't find any official documentation or community examples specifically mentioning visionOS.
Thanks.
When I ran the following code on a physical iPhone device that supports Apple Intelligence, I encountered the following error log.
What does this internal error code mean?
Image generation failed with NSError in a different domain: Error Domain=ImagePlaygroundInternal.ImageGeneration.GenerationError Code=11 “(null)”, returning a generic error instead
let imageCreator = try await ImageCreator()
let style = imageCreator.availableStyles.first ?? .animation
let stream = imageCreator.images(for: [.text("cat")], style: style, limit: 1)
for try await result in stream { // error: ImagePlayground.ImageCreator.Error.creationFailed
_ = result.cgImage
}
I'm working on a to-do list app that uses SpeechTranscriber and Foundation Models framework to transcribe a user's voice into text and create to-do items based off of it.
After about 30 minutes looking at my code, I couldn't figure out why I was failing to generate a to-do for "I need to go to Six Flags Great America tomorrow at 3pm." It turns out, I was consistently firing the Foundation Models's safety filter violation for unsafe content ("May contain unsafe content").
Lesson learned: consider comprehensively logging Foundation Models error states to quickly identify when safety filters are unexpectedly triggered.

I have been using "apple" to test foundation models.
I thought this is local, but today the answer changed - half way through explanation, suddenly guardrailViolation error was activated! And yesterday, all reference to "Apple II", "Apple III" now refers me to consult apple.com!
Does foundation models connect to Internet for answer? Using beta 3.

Has Apple made any commitment to versioning the Foundation Models on device? What if you build a feature that works great on 26.0 but they change the model or guardrails in 26.1 and it breaks your feature, is your only recourse filing Feedback or pulling the feature from the app? Will there be a way to specify a model version like in all of the server based LLM provider APIs? If not, sounds risky to build on.
When using Foundation Models, is it possible to ask the model to produce output in a specific language, apart from giving an instruction like "Provide answers in ." ? (I tried that and it kind of worked, but it seems fragile.)
I haven't noticed an API to do so and have a use-case where the output should be in a user-selectable language that is not the current system language.

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?
I'm attempting to run a basic Foundation Model prototype in Xcode 26, but I'm getting the error below, using the iPhone 16 simulator with iOS 26. Should these models be working yet? Do I need to be running macOS 26 for these to work? (I hope that's not it)

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!
When I use the FoundationModel framework to generate long text, it will always hit an error.
"Passing along Client rate limit exceeded, try again later in response to ExecuteRequest"
And stop generating.
eg. for the prompt "Write a long story", it will almost certainly hit that error after 17 seconds of generation.
do{
let session = LanguageModelSession()
let prompt: String = "Write a long story"
let response = try await session.respond(to: prompt)
}catch{}
If possible, I want to know how to prevent that error or at least how to handle it.
Access to VisionPro cameras is required for a research project. The project is on mixed reality software development for healthcare applications in dentistry.
Testing Foundation Models framework with a health-focused recipe generation app. The on-device approach is appealing but performance is rough. Taking 20+ seconds just to get recipe name and description. Same content from Claude API: 4 seconds.
I know it's beta and on-device has different tradeoffs, but this is approaching unusable territory for real-time user experience. The streaming helps psychologically but doesn't mask the underlying latency.The privacy/cost benefits are compelling but not if users abandon the feature before it completes.
Anyone else seeing similar performance? Is this expected for beta, or are there optimization techniques I'm missing?
