Apple's WWDC 2025 Keynote: Follow along with our live blog.Apple at WWDC today announced Foundation Models Framework, a new API allowing third-party developers to leverage the large language models at the heart of Apple Intelligence and build it into their apps.With the Foundation Models Framework, developers can integrate Apple's on-device models directly into apps, allowing them to build on Apple Intelligence.The Foundation Models framework lets developers build AI-powered features that work offline, protect privacy, and incur no inference costs.
For example, an education app can generate quizzes from user notes on-device, and an outdoors app can offer offline natural language search.Apple says the framework is available for testing starting today through the Apple Developer Program at developer.apple.com, and a public beta will be available through the Apple Beta Software Program next month at beta.apple.com.It includes built-in features like guided generation and tool calling for easy integration of generative capabilities into existing apps.
