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, and latest iPads, allowing for free use 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 use these models to create powerful AI tools.
It will be interesting to see how other developers use these models in the coming months.
