As rumored, Apple has announced that developers will soon be able to access the on-device large language models that power Apple Intelligence in their own apps through the Foundation Models framework.

Through the newly unveiled Foundation Models framework, Apple is giving developers the chance to use native AI capabilities in their own apps. Third-party apps will be able to use the features for image creation, text generation, and more.

Like Apple Intelligence itself, the on-device processing will allow for AI features that are fast, powerful, focused on privacy, and available without an internet connection.

Rumors that Apple would be opening up its Apple Intelligence platform first circulated earlier this year. In May, Bloomberg reported that Apple would take the first steps toward making its intelligence systems accessible to third-party apps, though it noted that apps wouldn't be able to access the models themselves — just AI-powered features.

Along with opening up Apple Intelligence to other apps, the company also announced that it is expanding the number of languages that its AI platform supports, and making the generative models that power it "more capable and more efficient."
