WWDC26: Dive into Core AI model authoring and optimization | Apple
Apple introduces Core AI, a suite for optimizing, converting, and deploying models including LLMs on Apple Silicon.
“It includes a Swift package for running LLMs in your app. But at its core, it's an open-source repository of models that are ready to go, including generative architectures like cutting-edge large language models.”
At WWDC26, Apple unveiled Core AI, an evolution of CoreML offering a Python/PyTorch toolchain, an open-source models repository with a Swift package for running LLMs on-device, a Core AI debugger, and installable agent skills for coding assistants. It signals Apple's push to make on-device LLM deployment on Apple Silicon turnkey for developers, reinforcing the industry shift toward local, optimized generative AI.
