Apple just gave developers access to its new local AI models, here’s how they perform


With the new Foundation Models framework, third-party apps will be able to leverage the same on-device possibilities that Apple will enjoy.

In other words, this means that developers will now be able to integrate AI features like summarizing documents, pulling key info from user text, or even generating structured content, entirely offline, with zero API cost. In other words, Apple’s new local models seem set to deliver consistent results for many real-world uses without resorting to the cloud or requiring data to leave the device. That might not make for the same headlines as more powerful models will, but in practice, it could lead to a wave of genuinely useful AI features in third-party iOS apps that don’t require the cloud.
