To work with machine learning models in Swift, Apple provides several tools and frameworks that can be utilized. Here are some examples and insights from the WWDC sessions:

  1. Core ML: This is the primary framework for running AI models on Apple devices. It allows you to convert models into the Core ML format and optimize them for execution on Apple silicon. Core ML automatically segments models across CPU, GPU, and the neural engine to maximize hardware utilization. You can use Core ML tools to convert models from frameworks like PyTorch into the Core ML format, leveraging techniques such as quantization and efficient key-value caching for large language models (LLMs).

  2. Swift Transformers Package: In the "Platforms State of the Union" session, an example was shown using the Mistral 7B parameter model, which was converted into the Core ML format and run in a test app built using the Swift Transformers package on macOS Sonoma. This demonstrates how you can integrate machine learning models into Swift applications.

  3. Create ML: This tool allows you to train and fine-tune models using familiar frameworks like PyTorch, powered by Metal. Create ML provides templates and components for tasks such as object tracking and time series classification, making it easier to integrate machine learning capabilities into your apps.

  4. Apple Silicon Optimization: The "Bring your machine learning and AI models to Apple silicon" session highlights the use of Apple Silicon's unified memory, CPU, GPU, and neural engine for low-latency and efficient compute for machine learning workloads. This is crucial for optimizing models for deployment on Apple devices.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the sessions:
