The Foundation Models framework introduced by Apple at WWDC allows you to leverage on-device large language models for various applications while maintaining user privacy. With this framework, you can enhance your apps by integrating features such as personalized search suggestions, generating itineraries in travel apps, or creating dynamic dialogues for game characters. All of these capabilities run on-device, ensuring that data remains private and the app can function offline.
One of the key features of the Foundation Models framework is tool calling, which allows the model to autonomously execute code you define in your app. This is particularly useful for integrating personal data like contacts and calendar events without needing to upload data to a server, thus preserving privacy. The framework also supports guided generation, enabling you to get structured output in Swift, and it provides APIs for streaming responses and stateful sessions.
For more detailed information, you can explore sessions like Meet the Foundation Models framework and Deep dive into the Foundation Models framework.

Deep dive into the Foundation Models framework
Level up with the Foundation Models framework. Learn how guided generation works under the hood, and use guides, regexes, and generation schemas to get custom structured responses. We’ll show you how to use tool calling to let the model autonomously access external information and perform actions, for a personalized experience. To get the most out of this video, we recommend first watching “Meet the Foundation Models framework”.
