The session titled "Meet the Foundation Models framework" at WWDC 2025 introduces the new Foundation Models Framework. This framework provides access to an on-device large language model with a convenient Swift API, available on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and VisionOS. It is designed to enhance app features by generating content, summarizing text, analyzing user input, and more, all while maintaining privacy since it runs on-device. The session covers various aspects such as stateful sessions, tool calling, and guided generation. You can learn more about the framework's capabilities and how to integrate it into your apps by watching this session.
For a deeper understanding, you might also want to check out the "Deep dive into the Foundation Models framework" session, which explores how to get the most out of the framework, including using Generable for structured output and tool calling for custom functions.
If you're interested in prompt design and safety, the session "Explore prompt design & safety for on-device foundation models" provides guidance on creating robust generative AI experiences and discusses the framework's built-in guardrails for safety.
