Introducing Foundation Models in iOS 26

This year, Apple announced it was opening up its on-device LLMs to third party developers on supported Apple Intelligence devices. This has the potential to unlock new categories of use cases and experiences for apps in the Apple ecosystem. This talk covers how to use this new framework in your own apps, discusses potential use cases, as well as an opportunity to discuss the use of AI in iOS apps as a whole.
