Apple says its Foundation Models framework now supports server models such as Claude and Gemini through the same Swift API used for its on-device models. Providers can supply compatible Swift packages, with support for tool calling and guided generation.

Developers enrolled in the App Store Small Business Program with fewer than two million first-time App Store downloads can access Apple's models on Private Cloud Compute without cloud API costs.

New Dynamic Profiles let developers switch models, tools and instructions within a continuous session while sharing its transcript. The framework also supports image prompts, with on-device Vision tools for text extraction and barcode reading.
