Foundation Models Framework in Swift Getting Started with On Device AI

Video Description

Apple introduced the Foundation Models Framework at WWDC25, giving developers direct access to Apple’s on-device large language model with native Swift support. In this video, I’ll show you how to get started by embedding the model into your app in just a few lines of code. We’ll cover: • Setting up the project with a starter branch • Using LanguageModelSession to send prompts and receive responses • Handling errors and Apple’s built-in safety guardrails • Checking device and OS requirements for Apple Intelligence • Building a reusable service for availability checks This is the first part of a multi-video series exploring the power of Foundation Models for Swift developers.
