Using Foundation Models to Access Apple Intelligence
Daniel Steinberg
09:00-16:00, Monday, - Monday, 18th May 2026
The Foundation Model APIs provide easy to use access to Apple Intelligence. In this hands-on workshop you’ll use #Playground to experiment with various aspects of the model. You’ll create prompts, experiment with instructions, and tune the output with Generation Options. You’ll learn to stream the response as it is created to improve the user experience. You’ll use Generable to turn the text returned by Apple Intelligence into well-formed instances of Swift Types. You’ll create tools that work with other parts of the Apple ecosystem to return map or weather data.
