Summary
Apple's FoundationModels framework lets you run LLMs directly on iOS 26+ devices without hitting the cloud. You get text generation, structured output via the @Generable macro (way better than parsing strings), custom tool calling, and snapshot streaming for real-time UI updates. The 4,096 token limit is tight and you can only run one request per session at a time, but the privacy and offline story is solid. Check model.availability before doing anything since not all devices support Apple Intelligence. Best for apps that need AI features without sending user data off device or requiring internet connectivity.
