Core ML Model Performance report shows prediction speed much faster than actual app runs
Hi all, I'm tuning my app prediction speed with Core ML model. I watched and tried the methods in video: Improve Core ML integration with async prediction and Optimize your Core ML usage. I also use instruments to look what's the bottleneck that my prediction speed cannot be faster. Below is the instruments result with my app. its prediction duration is 10.29ms And below is performance report shows the average speed of prediction is 5.55ms, that is about half time of my app prediction! Below is part of my instruments records. I think the prediction should be considered quite frequent. Could it be faster? How to be the same prediction speed as performance report? The prediction speed on macbook Pro M2 is nearly the same as macbook Air M1!

LanguageModelStream and collecting the final output
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?

Translation framework use in Swift 6
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?

Using RAG on local documents from Foundation Model
I am watching a few WWDC sessions on Foundation Model and its usage and it looks pretty cool. I was wondering if it is possible to perform RAG on the user documents on the devices and entuallly on iCloud... Let's say I have a lot of pages documents about me and I want the Foundation model to access those information on the documents to answer questions about me that can be retrieved from the documents. How can this be done ? Thanks

Missing module 'coremltools.libmilstoragepython'
Hello! I'm following the Foundation Models adapter training guide (https://aninterestingwebsite.com/apple-intelligence/foundation-models-adapter/) on my NVIDIA DGX Spark box. I'm able to train on my own data but the example notebook fails when I try to export the artifact as an fmadapter. I get the following error for the code block I'm trying to run. I haven't touched any of the code in the export folder. I tried exporting it on my Mac too and got the same error as well (given below). Would appreciate some more clarity around this. Thank you.

DataScannerViewController does't recognize currency less 1.00
Hi, DataScannerViewController does't recognize currencies less than 1.00 (e.g. 0.59 USD, 0.99 EUR, etc.). Why? How to solve the problem? This feature is not described in Apple documentation, is there a solution? This is my code: func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> DataScannerViewController { let dataScanner = DataScannerViewController(recognizedDataTypes: [ .text(textContentType: .currency)]) return dataScanner }

Foundation Models not working: "Model is unavailable" error on iPad Pro M4
I am excited to try Foundation Models during WWDC, but it doesn't work at all for me. When running on my iPad Pro M4 with iPadOS 26 seed 1, I get the following error even when running the simplest query: let prompt = "How are you?" let stream = session.streamResponse(to: prompt) for try await partial in stream { self.answer = partial self.resultString = partial } In the Xcode console, I see the following error: assetsUnavailable(FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context(debugDescription: "Model is unavailable", underlyingErrors: [])) I have verified that Apple Intelligence is enabled on my iPad. Any tips on how can I get it working? I have also submitted this feedback: FB17896752

Avoid hallucinations and information from trainning data
Hi For certain tasks, such as qualitative analysis or tagging, it is advisable to provide the AI with the option to respond with a joker / wild card answer when it encounters difficulties in tagging or scoring. For instance, you can include this slot in the prompt as follows: output must be "not data to score" when there isn't information to score. In the absence of these types of slots, AI trends to provide a solution even when there is insufficient information. Foundations Models are told to be prompted with simple prompts. I wonder: Is recommended keep this slot though adds verbose complexity? Is the best place the comment of a guided attribute? other tips? Another use case is when you want the AI to be tied to the information provided in the prompt and not take information from its data set. What is the best approach to this purpose? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Core Spotlight Semantic Search - still non-functional for 1+ year after WWDC24?
After more than a year since the announcement, I'm still unable to get this feature working properly and wondering if there are known issues or missing implementation details. Current Setup: Device: iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS: 26 beta 3 Development: Tested on both Xcode 16 and Xcode 26 Implementation: Following the official documentation examples The Problem: Semantic search simply doesn't work. Lexical search functions normally, but enabling semantic search produces identical results to having it disabled. It's as if the feature isn't actually processing. Error Output (Xcode 26): [QPNLU][qid=5] Error Domain=com.apple.SpotlightEmbedding.EmbeddingModelError Code=-8007 "Text embedding generation timeout (timeout=100ms)" [CSUserQuery][qid=5] got a nil / empty embedding data dictionary [CSUserQuery][qid=5] semanticQuery failed to generate, using "(false)" In Xcode 16, there are no error messages at all - the semantic search just silently fails. Missing Resources: The sample application mentioned during the WWDC24 presentation doesn't appear to have been released, which makes it difficult to verify if my implementation is correct. Would really appreciate any guidance or clarification on the current status of this feature. Has anyone in the community successfully implemented this?

Crash when testing Speech sample app with FoundationModels on macOS 26.0 beta and iOS 26.0 beta
Hello, I am testing the sample project provided here: Bringing advanced speech-to-text capabilities to your app. On both macOS 26.0 beta and iOS 26.0 beta, the app crashes immediately on launch with a dyld "Symbol not found" error related to FoundationModels.framework. It feels like this may be related to testing primarily on newer Apple Silicon devices, as I am seeing consistent crashes on an Intel MacBook and on an older iPhone device. I would appreciate any insight, confirmation, or guidance on whether this is a known limitation or if there is a workaround. Is it planned to be resolved soon? Environment macOS: Device: MacBook Pro (Intel) Processor: 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB Memory: 16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X OS: macOS Tahoe Version 26.0 Beta (25A5338b) iOS: Device: iPhone 11 Model Number: MHDD3HN/A OS: iOS 26.0 Xcode: Version: 26.0 beta 3 (17A5276g) Crash (macOS) Abort signal received.

Is there an official statement on whether macOS 26.x releases support Intel, or it exists only until macOS 26.1? Any suggested workarounds for testing this sample project on current hardware? Is this a known limitation for the 26.0 beta, and if so, should we expect a fix in 26.0 or only in subsequent releases? Attaching screenshots for reference. Thank you in advance.

Model Rate Limits?
Trying the Foundation Model framework and when I try to run several sessions in a loop, I'm getting a thrown error that I'm hitting a rate limit. Are these rate limits documented? What's the best practice here? I'm trying to run the models against new content downloaded from a web service where I might get ~200 items in a given download. They're relatively small but there can be that many that want to be processed in a loop.

Does Generable support recursive schemas?
I've run into an issue with a small Foundation Models test with Generable. I'm getting a strange error message with this Generable. I was able to get simpler ones to work. Is this because the Generable is recursive with a property of [HTMLDiv]? The error message is: FoundationModels/SchemaAugmentor.swift:209: Fatal error: 'try!' expression unexpectedly raised an error: FoundationModels.GenerationSchema.SchemaError.undefinedReferences(schema: Optional("SafeResponse<HTMLDiv>"), references: ["HTMLDiv"], context: FoundationModels.GenerationSchema.SchemaError.Context(debugDescription: "Undefined types: [HTMLDiv]", underlyingErrors: [])) The code is: import FoundationModels import Playgrounds @Generable struct HTMLDiv { @Guide(description: "Optional named ID, useful for nicknames") var id: String? = nil @Guide(description: "Optional visible HTML text") var textContent: String? = nil @Guide(description: "Any child elements", .count(0...10)) var children: [HTMLDiv] = [] static var sample: HTMLDiv { HTMLDiv( id: "profileToolbar", children: [ HTMLDiv(textContent: "Log in"), HTMLDiv(textContent: "Sign up"), ] ) } } #Playground { do { let session = LanguageModelSession { "Your job is to generate simple HTML markup" "Here is an example response to the prompt: 'Make a profile toolbar':" HTMLDiv.sample } let response = try await session.respond( to: "Make a sign up form", generating: HTMLDiv.self ) print(response.content) } catch { print(error) } }

Foundation Models: Please Allow GeneratedContent Init from Array of Key-Value Pairs
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.

Environment macOS: Device: MacBook Pro (Intel) Processor: 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB Memory: 16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X OS: macOS Tahoe Version 26.0 Beta (25A5338b) iOS: Device: iPhone 11 Model Number: MHDD3HN/A OS: iOS 26.0 Xcode: Version: 26.0 beta 3 (17A5276g) Crash (macOS) Abort signal received.

Is there an official statement on whether macOS 26.x releases support Intel, or it exists only until macOS 26.1? Any suggested workarounds for testing this sample project on current hardware? Is this a known limitation for the 26.0 beta, and if so, should we expect a fix in 26.0 or only in subsequent releases? Attaching screenshots for reference. Thank you in advance.

Model Rate Limits?
Trying the Foundation Model framework and when I try to run several sessions in a loop, I'm getting a thrown error that I'm hitting a rate limit. Are these rate limits documented? What's the best practice here? I'm trying to run the models against new content downloaded from a web service where I might get ~200 items in a given download. They're relatively small but there can be that many that want to be processed in a loop.

All generations in #Playground macro are throwing "unsafe" Generation Errors
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)

Does Generable support recursive schemas?
I've run into an issue with a small Foundation Models test with Generable. I'm getting a strange error message with this Generable. I was able to get simpler ones to work. Is this because the Generable is recursive with a property of [HTMLDiv]? The error message is: FoundationModels/SchemaAugmentor.swift:209: Fatal error: 'try!' expression unexpectedly raised an error: FoundationModels.GenerationSchema.SchemaError.undefinedReferences(schema: Optional("SafeResponse<HTMLDiv>"), references: ["HTMLDiv"], context: FoundationModels.GenerationSchema.SchemaError.Context(debugDescription: "Undefined types: [HTMLDiv]", underlyingErrors: [])) The code is: import FoundationModels import Playgrounds @Generable struct HTMLDiv { @Guide(description: "Optional named ID, useful for nicknames") var id: String? = nil @Guide(description: "Optional visible HTML text") var textContent: String? = nil @Guide(description: "Any child elements", .count(0...10)) var children: [HTMLDiv] = [] static var sample: HTMLDiv { HTMLDiv( id: "profileToolbar", children: [ HTMLDiv(textContent: "Log in"), HTMLDiv(textContent: "Sign up"), ] ) } } #Playground { do { let session = LanguageModelSession { "Your job is to generate simple HTML markup" "Here is an example response to the prompt: 'Make a profile toolbar':" HTMLDiv.sample } let response = try await session.respond( to: "Make a sign up form", generating: HTMLDiv.self ) print(response.content) } catch { print(error) } }
