FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate on-device AI text generation in Swift?

To integrate on-device AI text generation in Swift, use Apple's FoundationModels framework to run local LLMs for text generation, structured data output, and tool-calling directly within your application.

What is Apple's Foundation Models framework used for?

Apple's Foundation Models framework is used for on-device generative AI tasks. It enables local text generation, natural language understanding, and content summarization while keeping all processing private on the device.

Can I build a privacy-preserving AI assistant without relying on external servers?

Yes, you can build a privacy-preserving AI assistant without external servers by leveraging Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework, ensuring all AI processing and user data remains local to the device.

Does the FoundationModels framework support tool calling and structured output?

Yes, the FoundationModels framework supports both tool-calling capabilities and structured data output, allowing developers to execute functions and parse formatted responses directly from on-device AI models.

What are the limitations of using on-device LLMs for text generation?

The primary limitation of using on-device LLMs is that all AI processing relies entirely on the device's local hardware resources, meaning performance depends on the specific device capabilities and available memory.
