FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate on-device AI text generation in Swift?▼

To integrate on-device AI text generation in Swift, use Apple's FoundationModels framework to run local LLMs for text generation, structured data output, and tool-calling directly within your application.

What is Apple's Foundation Models framework used for?▼

Apple's Foundation Models framework is used for on-device generative AI tasks. It enables local text generation, natural language understanding, and content summarization while keeping all processing private on the device.

Can I build a privacy-preserving AI assistant without relying on external servers?▼

Yes, you can build a privacy-preserving AI assistant without external servers by leveraging Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework, ensuring all AI processing and user data remains local to the device.

Does the FoundationModels framework support tool calling and structured output?▼

Yes, the FoundationModels framework supports both tool-calling capabilities and structured data output, allowing developers to execute functions and parse formatted responses directly from on-device AI models.

What are the limitations of using on-device LLMs for text generation?▼

The primary limitation of using on-device LLMs is that all AI processing relies entirely on the device's local hardware resources, meaning performance depends on the specific device capabilities and available memory.
