Ai api

Apple's WWDC 2024 introduced several advancements in AI and machine learning APIs that developers can leverage to enhance their apps. Here are some highlights:

1. Machine Learning Frameworks: Apple has expanded its machine learning frameworks to offer intelligence capabilities across various categories, including natural language processing, sound analysis, speech understanding, and vision intelligence. The Vision framework, in particular, has received a new Swift API, allowing developers to augment image models with unique datasets for improved classification and object detection. Developers can also import and run on-device AI models, such as large language or diffusion models, developed elsewhere (Platforms State of the Union).

2. MLX for Research: Apple has introduced MLX, a tool designed by Apple machine learning researchers for other researchers. It provides a familiar and extensible API for exploring new ideas on Apple silicon, built on a unified memory model for efficient operations across CPU and GPU (Explore machine learning on Apple platforms).

3. CreateML Enhancements: The CreateML app now includes an object tracking template, allowing developers to train reference objects to anchor spatial experiences on vision. This tool is useful for customizing models with your own data (Explore machine learning on Apple platforms).

These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of the new AI and machine learning capabilities available on Apple platforms, enabling developers to create more intelligent and personalized app experiences.
