Apple Foundations Models With Mohammad Azam

Forget prompting and chat interfaces. This episode of Swift Academy reframes Apple's approach to AI as a native, embedded capability — not a remote service you call.

Mohammad Azam joins to explore how Foundation Models become real building blocks in your Swift architecture:

• Tools that let models interact with live, private, and domain‑specific data
• Structured generation for deterministic, reliable outputs
• Instructions as part of system design, not just prompts
• Adapter‑based fine‑tuning — evolve model behavior without retraining or shipping a new app version

Compare this approach to tool‑based systems like MCP, but fully on‑device and privacy‑first. Perfect for developers who want AI deeply integrated into widgets, layered architectures, and production Swift apps.
