Apple just gave developers access to its new local AI models, here’s how they perform

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-08 00:25:35

One of the very first announcements on this year’s WWDC was that for the first time, third‑party developers will get to tap directly into Apple’s on‑device AI with the new Foundation Models framework. But how do these models actually compare against what’s already out there? With the new Foundation Models framework, third-party developers can now build on the same on-device AI stack used by Apple’s native apps. In other words, this means that developers will now be able to integrate AI feature

Every year, iOS is one of the star attractions of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote. It's our first official look at new features and other changes that are coming to iPhones in the fall. The 2025 WWDC keynote was no exception, and the most immediate change is to the iOS naming system.

Apple Knows AI Isn’t What People Really Want, but It Can’t Say That

Apple WWDC 2025 Live: Liquid Glass Design Takes Over iOS 26, MacOS, CarPlay and More

Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Camera app in iOS 26 is nearly bare, populated primarily with a shutter button and a switch to toggle between Photo and Video modes. It's the one app so far where I imagine Apple's designers said, "Let's do Liquid Glass, but even less." And from a visual standpoint, I get the appeal: You want to be absorbed by the photo you're about to take, not distracted by the controls around the periphery. But I'm admittedly wary of the fact that, without any cues

The App Store won't be rendered useless, since you'll still need to access it for nongaming app downloads.

New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems

The researchers found similar results to a recent study by the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) in April, showing that these same models achieved low scores on novel mathematic

With the release of iPadOS 26, Apple gives these tablets the ability to use conventional windowing—and iPads will never be the same.
