To run a large language model (LLM) on your phone, you can follow these steps using Apple's Core ML framework:

  1. Start with a PyTorch Model: Begin with any PyTorch model that you want to run on your device.

  2. Convert to Core ML Format: Use Core ML tools to convert your PyTorch model into the Core ML format. This conversion process can also include optimizations such as quantization and efficient key-value caching for LLMs.

  3. Optimize the Model: Core ML tools offer various ways to optimize your model for performance, leveraging Apple Silicon's unified memory, CPU, GPU, and neural engine.

  4. Integrate with Core ML: Once your model is converted and optimized, you can integrate it into your app using the Core ML framework. Core ML provides a unified API for performing on-device inference and is tightly integrated with Xcode.

  5. Run the Model: Core ML will handle the execution of your model across the CPU, GPU, and neural engine, ensuring efficient performance.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the following sessions from WWDC 2024:

These sessions provide comprehensive information on the workflow and tools available for running machine learning models on Apple devices.
