Python bindings for Apple's Foundation Models framework, giving access to the on-device foundation model behind Apple Intelligence on macOS. It supports streaming text generation, guided generation with typed structured outputs, and batch evaluation of Swift app AI features from Python.

Use cases

• run on-device LLM inference on macOS with Apple Intelligence
• generate structured typed objects from a Python class schema
• evaluate Swift app Foundation Models features from Python
• stream real-time text generation responses
• analyze transcripts exported from Swift apps

When to choose

• you're on macOS 26+ with Apple Intelligence and want Python access to the system model
• you need type-safe guided generation with constrained outputs
• you want to evaluate on-device model behavior using Python's data/ML ecosystem

When to avoid

• you're on Linux, Windows, or older macOS versions
• you need cloud-hosted or cross-platform LLM access
• you need a mature project accepting contributions
