It seems like you might be referring to "Foundation" in the context of Apple's WWDC sessions. There are a couple of relevant topics related to "Foundation" from the sessions:
-
Swift Foundation: In the session titled "What’s new in Swift" from WWDC 2024, the Swift Foundation is discussed as an essential component of many applications, providing important APIs including JSON decoding, date and time formatting, file system operations, and more. The Foundation has been rewritten from Legacy C and Objective-C into modern portable Swift, which results in more consistent, higher quality, and better performance across all platforms. This new implementation is open source and invites community contributions. You can learn more about this in the What’s new in Swift session.
-
Foundation Models Framework: This is a new framework introduced to provide on-device large language model capabilities. It allows developers to enhance their apps with features like text extraction, summarization, and more, all while keeping data private and running offline. This framework is discussed in several sessions, including "Meet the Foundation Models framework" and "Deep dive into the Foundation Models framework." You can start exploring this topic in the Meet the Foundation Models framework session.
If you have a specific aspect of "Foundation" you are interested in, feel free to ask!
What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
Design foundations from idea to interface
Great apps feel clear, intuitive, and effortless to use. In this session, you’ll discover how app design can elevate functionality, communicate purpose, guide people through your content, and use components thoughtfully to keep the experience simple without losing impact. This session is for designers and developers of all skill levels — as well as anyone curious about design.
