I'm using Xcode 26 Beta 5 and get errors on any generation I try, however harmless, when wrapped in the #Playground macro. #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() let topic = "pandas" let prompt = "Write a safe and respectful story about (topic)." let response = try await session.respond(to: prompt) Not seeing any issues on simulator or device. Anyone else seeing this or have any ideas? Thanks for any help! Version 26.0 beta 5 (17A5295f) macOS 26.0 Beta (25A5316i)

I have a Generable type with many elements. I am using a stream() to incrementally process the output (Generable.PartiallyGenerated?) content. At the end, I want to pass the final version (not partially generated) to another function. I cannot seem to find a good way to convert from a MyGenerable.PartiallyGenerated to a MyGenerable. Am I missing some functionality in the APIs?

I’m trying to integrate Apple’s Translation framework in a Swift 6 project with Approachable Concurrency enabled. I’m following the code here: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/translation/translating-text-within-your-app#Offer-a-custom-translation And, specifically, inside the following code .translationTask(configuration) { session in do { // Use the session the task provides to translate the text. let response = try await session.translate(sourceText) // Update the view with the translated result. targetText = response.targetText } catch { // Handle any errors. } } On the try await session.translate(…) line, the compiler complains that “Sending ‘session’ risks causing data races”. Extended error message: Sending main actor-isolated 'session' to @concurrent instance method 'translate' risks causing data races between @concurrent and main actor-isolated uses I’ve downloaded Apple’s sample code (at the top of linked webpage), it compiles fine as-is on Xcode 26.4, but fails with the same error as soon as I switch the Swift Language Mode to Swift 6 in the project. How can I fix this?

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!

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?

Hi friends, I have just found that the inference speed dropped to only 1/10 of the original model. Had anyone encountered this? Thank you.

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 using python 3.9.6, tensorflow 2.20.0, tensorflow-metal 1.2.0, and when I try to run import tensorflow as tf It gives Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/haoduoyu/Code/demo.py", line 1, in <module> import tensorflow as tf File "/Users/haoduoyu/Code/test/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tensorflow/__init__.py", line 438, in <module> _ll.load_library(_plugin_dir) File "/Users/haoduoyu/Code/test/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tensorflow/python/framework/load_library.py", line 151, in load_library py_tf.TF_LoadLibrary(lib) tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.NotFoundError: dlopen(/Users/haoduoyu/Code/test/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tensorflow-plugins/libmetal_plugin.dylib, 0x0006): Library not loaded: @rpath/_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so Referenced from: <8B62586B-B082-3113-93AB-FD766A9960AE> /Users/haoduoyu/Code/test/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tensorflow-plugins/libmetal_plugin.dylib Reason: tried: '/Users/haoduoyu/Code/test/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tensorflow-plugins/../_solib_darwin_arm64/_U@local_Uconfig_Utf_S_S_C_Upywrap_Utensorflow_Uinternal___Uexternal_Slocal_Uconfig_Utf/_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so' (no such file), '/Users/haoduoyu/Code/test/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tensorflow-plugins/../_solib_darwin_arm64/_U@local_Uconfig_Utf_S_S_C_Upywrap_Utensorflow_Uinternal___Uexternal_Slocal_Uconfig_Utf/_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so' (no such file) As long as I uninstall tensorflow-metal, nothing goes wrong.

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 dyld[72381]: Symbol not found: _$s16FoundationModels10TranscriptV7entriesACSayAC5EntryOG_tcfC Referenced from: <44342398-591C-3850-9889-87C9458E1440> /Users/mika/experiments/apple-on-device-ai/fm Expected in: <66A793F6-CB22-3D1D-A560-D1BD5B109B0D> /System/Library/Frameworks/FoundationModels.framework/Versions/A/FoundationModels Is this a part of an API transition, if so - Apple, please update your documentation

Hello Team, I'm currently working on a proof of concept using Apple's Foundation Model for a RAG-based chat system on my MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip. Environment details: macOS: 26.0 Beta Xcode: 26.0 beta 2 (17A5241o) Target platform: iPad (as the iPhone simulator does not support Foundation models) While testing, even with very small input prompts to the LLM, I intermittently encounter the following error: InferenceError::inference-Failed::Failed to run inference: Context length of 4096 was exceeded during singleExtend. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there known limitations or workarounds for context length handling in this setup? Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you!

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)") } } }

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 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.

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, I have trained a basic adapter using the adapter training toolkit. I am trying a very basic example of loading it and running inference with it, but am getting the following error: Passing along InferenceError::inferenceFailed::loadFailed::Error Domain=com.apple.TokenGenerationInference.E5Runner Code=0 "Failed to load model: ANE adapted model load failure: createProgramInstanceWithWeights:modelToken:qos:baseModelIdentifier:owningPid:numWeightFiles:error:: Program load new instance failure (0x170006)." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to load model: ANE adapted model load failure: createProgramInstanceWithWeights:modelToken:qos:baseModelIdentifier:owningPid:numWeightFiles:error:: Program load new instance failure (0x170006).} in response to ExecuteRequest Any ideas / direction? For testing I am including the .fmadapter file inside the app bundle. This is where I load it: @State private var session: LanguageModelSession? // = LanguageModelSession() func loadAdapter() async throws { if let assetURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "qasc---afm---4-epochs-adapter", withExtension: "fmadapter") { print("Asset URL: \(assetURL)") let adapter = try SystemLanguageModel.Adapter(fileURL: assetURL) let adaptedModel = SystemLanguageModel(adapter: adapter) session = LanguageModelSession(model: adaptedModel) print("Loaded adapter and updated session") } else { print("Asset not found in the main bundle.") } } This seems to work fine as I get to the log Loaded adapter and updated session. However when the below inference code runs I get the aforementioned error: func sendMessage(_ msg: String) { self.loading = true if let session = session { Task { do { let modelResponse = try await session.respond(to: msg) DispatchQueue.main.async { self.response = modelResponse.content self.loading = false } } catch { print("Error: \(error)") DispatchQueue.main.async { self.loading = false } } } } }

Hello, I'm trying to write a model with PyTorch and convert it to CoreML. I wrote another models and that works succesfully, even the one that gave the problem is, but I can't visualize it with XCode to know where is running. The error that appear is: There was a problem decoding this Core ML document validator error: unable to open file for read Anyone knows why is this happening? Thanks a lot, Álvaro Corrochano

Hi everyone, I’m currently using macOS Version 15.3 Beta (24D5034f), and I’m encountering an issue with Apple Intelligence. The image generation tools seem to work fine, but everything else shows a message saying that it’s “not available at this time.” I’ve tried restarting my Mac and double-checked my settings, but the problem persists. Is anyone else experiencing this issue on the beta version? Are there any fixes or settings I might be overlooking? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

HI, I've been modifying the Camera sample app found here: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/tutorials/sample-apps/capturingphotos-camerapreview ... in the processpreview images, I am calling in to the Vision APis to either detect a person or object, then I'm using the segmentation mask to extract the person and composite them onto a different background with some other filters. I am using coreimage to filter the CIImages, and converting and displaying as a SwiftUI Image. When running on my IPhone, it works fine. When running on my Iphone with the debugger, it crashes within a few seconds... Attached is a screenshot. At the top is an EXC_BAD_ACCESS in libRPAC.dylib`std::__1::__hash_table<std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::__unordered_map_hasher<long, std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::hash, std::__1::equal_to, true>, std::__1::__unordered_map_equal<long, std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::equal_to, std::__1::hash, true>, std::__1::allocator<std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>>>::__emplace_unique_key_args<long, std::__1::piecewise_construct_t const&, std::__1::tuple<long const&>, std::__1::tuple<>>: This was working fine a couple of days ago..

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm exploring the integration of Apple Intelligence features into my mobile application and have a couple of questions regarding the current and upcoming API capabilities: Custom Prompt Support: Is there a way to pass custom prompts to Apple Intelligence to generate specific inferences? For instance, can we provide a unique prompt to the Writing Tools or Image Playground APIs to obtain tailored outputs? Direct Inference Capabilities: Beyond the predefined functionalities like text rewriting or image generation, does Apple Intelligence offer APIs that allow for more generalized inference tasks based on custom inputs? I understand that Apple has provided APIs such as Writing Tools, Image Playground, and Genmoji. However, I'm interested in understanding the extent of customization and flexibility these APIs offer, especially concerning custom prompts and generalized inference. Additionally, are there any plans or timelines for expanding these capabilities, perhaps with the introduction of new SDKs or frameworks that allow deeper integration and customization? Any insights, documentation links, or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi, I am developing an iOS application that utilizes Apple’s Foundation Models to perform certain summarization tasks. I would like to understand whether user data is transferred to Private Cloud Compute (PCC) in cases where the computation cannot be performed entirely on-device. This information is critical for our internal security and compliance reviews. I would appreciate your clarification on this matter. Thank you.
