Anthropic just launched a Swift package integrating Claude with Apple's Foundation Models framework across iOS 27 and macOS 27. Developers can now run quick tasks on-device and cleanly hand off multi-step reasoning, coding, and web searches to Claude via typed Swift outputs. Why it matters: it seamlessly unites local privacy and cloud horsepower inside native apps.
Apple just highlighted its new Foundation Models framework, giving third-party developers direct access to the on-device model powering Apple Intelligence. Built into iOS 26, the tool lets apps run local AI features like smart summaries and task generation completely offline and for free. Why it matters: Smaller developers can now ship smart features without cloud costs, all while keeping user data strictly on-device.
Apple just launched the Foundation Models Framework at WWDC, giving third-party developers direct access to the on-device models behind Apple Intelligence. It supports offline tasks and tool calling with zero inference costs, with a public beta rolling out next month.
