Overview
- With iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, Apple opened a Foundation Models framework that gives apps access to the on‑device large language model at the core of Apple Intelligence.
- SmartGym now turns natural‑language workout descriptions into structured routines and generates summaries of training data.
- Stoic offers contextual journaling prompts from recent entries, while OmniFocus 4 can draft projects and next steps such as packing lists.
- SwingVision generates coaching advice for tennis and pickleball players, and the to‑do app Stuff adds Listen Mode and Scan Mode to turn spoken or handwritten notes into tasks.
- Apple and developers also cite new uses in education and media, including CellWalk’s tailored explanations of biology terms and VLLO’s video analysis for music and sticker suggestions, with a Swift‑integrated 3‑billion‑parameter model that carries no inference cost to developers.
