foundation-models-language-model-protocol

To connect a server-side language model to Apple's Foundation Models framework, you build a Swift package conforming to the LanguageModel and LanguageModelExecutor protocols, translating API calls between the framework and your inference endpoint.

For server-side language models, the Foundation Models framework supports OAuth authentication and API key-based usage, managing authentication alongside error handling for end-user accounts and developer-paid usage.

Yes, you can use your server-side inference API with Swift by creating an API translation layer that integrates with the Foundation Models executor channel and conforms to the required LanguageModel protocol.

The LanguageModelExecutor protocol in Swift defines the executor channel integration for server-side language models, serving as a required conformance alongside the LanguageModel protocol to bridge external inference APIs into the Foundation Models framework.

Yes, the Foundation Models framework handles error handling for external server-side language models by managing authentication errors and providing structured handling for both end-user accounts and developer-paid usage.

You need an API translation layer for Foundation Models to translate API calls between the framework and your server-side inference endpoint, ensuring seamless integration of external models into the framework's API structure.
