Developers building AI features for iPhone, iPad, and Mac can run models directly on the device. This guide covers the main frameworks for on-device machine learning. You can use Apple Foundation Models for text generation and structured output. Or use Core ML for custom trained models like image classifiers. For running open-source LLMs, there is MLX Swift and llama.cpp.
All these frameworks work on Apple Silicon and can use the Neural Engine. The guide helps you pick the right tool for your task. It also explains how to convert, quantize, and optimize models for fast performance. This keeps user data private and reduces network use.
