With the launch of Apple's 26-series operating systems, developers can utilize the company's on-device AI models, enabling interesting feature sets and a potentially smarter path forward for AI tools.
Apple's Foundational Models run on-device across M-series Macs, iPhone 15 Pro, and newer iPads, allowing for free usage but with less power than cloud-based giant AI models.
Features like Genmoji and live translations are powered by the same on-device AI, and third-party developers can now inject powerful AI tools into their creations using the same models.
It will be interesting to see how other developers use these models in the coming months.
