Apple has announced a significant shift in its approach to AI development by opening its foundational AI model to third-party developers. This move, unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), grants developers direct access to the on-device large language model that powers Apple Intelligence. The newly accessible three-billion parameter model operates entirely on the device, reflecting Apple’s commitment to user privacy. This on-device approach distinguishes Apple from competitors relying on cloud-based AI solutions, emphasizing privacy and user control.
The new Foundation Models framework enables developers to integrate Apple Intelligence features into their apps with minimal code, using just three lines of Swift. This framework offers guided generation and tool-calling capabilities, making it easier to add generative AI to existing applications. Automattic's Day One journaling app is already leveraging this framework to provide privacy-centric intelligent features. According to Paul Mayne, head of Day One at Automattic, the framework is helping them rethink what’s possible with journaling by bringing intelligence and privacy together in ways that deeply respect their users.
Apple is also enhancing developer tools within Xcode 26, which now embeds large language models directly into the coding environment. Developers can access ChatGPT without needing a personal OpenAI account and connect API keys from other providers or run local models on Apple silicon Macs. Furthermore, Apple has upgraded the App Intents interface to support visual intelligence, allowing apps to present visual search results directly within the operating system. Etsy is already exploring these features to improve product discovery, with CTO Rafe Colburn noting the potential to meet shoppers right on their iPhone with visual intelligence.
