The context size of Apple's local foundation model is approximately 3 billion parameters. This model is designed to run on-device, which means it is smaller than server-based large language models that typically have hundreds of billions of parameters. The on-device model is optimized for tasks like summarization, extraction, and classification, but it is not designed for tasks requiring extensive world knowledge or advanced reasoning.
