# FoundationModels: On-Device LLM (iOS 26)

Patterns for integrating Apple's on-device language model into apps using the FoundationModels framework. Covers text generation, structured output with `@Generable`, custom tool calling, and snapshot streaming — all running on-device for privacy and offline support.

## When to Activate

- Building AI-powered features using Apple Intelligence on-device
- Generating or summarizing text without cloud dependency
- Extracting structured data from natural language input
- Implementing custom tool calling for domain-specific AI actions
- Streaming structured responses for real-time UI updates
- Need privacy-preserving AI (no data leaves the device)

## Core Pattern — Availability Check

Always check model availability before creating a session:

```swift
struct GenerativeView: View {
    private var model = SystemLanguageModel.default

    var body: some View {
        switch model.availability {
        case .available:
            ContentView()
        case .unavailable(.deviceNotEligible):
            Text("Device not eligible for Apple Intelligence")
        case .unavailable(.appleIntelligenceNotEnabled):
            Text("Please enable Apple Intelligence in Settings")
        case .unavailable(.modelNotReady):
            Text("Model is downloading or not ready")
        case .unavailable(let other):
            Text("Model unavailable: \(other)")
        }
    }
}
```

## Core Pattern — Basic Session

```swift
// Single-turn: create a new session each time
let session = LanguageModelSession()
let response = try await session.respond(to: "What's a good month to visit Paris?")
print(response.content)

// Multi-turn: reuse session for conversation context
let session = LanguageModelSession(instructions: """
