Integrate on-device AI using Foundation Models framework, Core ML, and open-source LLM runtimes on Apple Silicon. Covers Foundation Models (LanguageModelSession, @Generable, @Guide, SystemLanguageModel, structured output, tool calling), Core ML (coremltools, model conversion, quantization, palettization, pruning, Neural Engine, MLTensor), MLX Swift (transformer inference, unified memory), and llama.cpp (GGUF, cross-platform LLM). Use when building tool-calling AI features, working with guided…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# On-Device AI for Apple Platforms Guide for selecting, deploying, and optimizing on-device ML models. Covers Apple Foundation Models, Core ML, MLX Swift, and llama.cpp. ## Contents - [Framework Selection Router](#framework-selection-router) - [Apple Foundation Models Overview](#apple-foundation-models-overview) - [Core ML Overview](#core-ml-overview) - [MLX Swift Overview](#mlx-swift-overview) - [Multi-Backend Architecture](#multi-backend-architecture) - [Performance Best Practices](#performance-best-practices) - [Common Mistakes](#common-mistakes) - [Review Checklist](#review-checklist) - [References](#references) ## Framework Selection Router Use this decision tree to pick the right framework for your use case. ### Apple Foundation Models **When to use:** Text generation, summarization, entity extraction, structured output, and short dialog on iOS 26+ / macOS 26+ devices with Apple Intelligence enabled. No app-managed API key, network round trip, or model hosting; still handle system model asset readiness. **Best for:** - Generating text or structured data with `@Generable` types - Summarization, classification, content tagging …

How to install
mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/apple-on-device-ai@sha256:95974275e65cc834The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.5f864de, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
