Apple to open its AI models to developers starting at WWDC 2025

MacDailyNews

May 20

READ IN APP

Apple is set to open its AI models to third-party developers, enabling them to create new apps and enhance device appeal. The company is developing a software development kit and frameworks, allowing external developers to build AI features using Apple’s large language models for Apple Intelligence, Bloomberg News reports citing “people with knowledge of the matter.”

Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
‎

Apple expects to unveil the plan on June 9 at its Worldwide Developers Conference, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the initiative hasn’t been announced.
Apple Intelligence already powers iOS and macOS features such as notification summaries, text editing and basic image creation. The new approach would let developers integrate the underlying technology into specific features or across their full apps. To start, Apple will open up its smaller models that run on its devices, rather than the more powerful cloud-based AI models that require servers.
The company launched the Apple Intelligence platform last year in a bid to catch up with rivals. But the initial features haven’t been widely used, and other AI platforms remain more powerful. The bet is that expanding the technology to developers will lead to more compelling uses for it…
Apple Intelligence has had a rocky rollout so far. The company needed to pause AI summaries of news headlines due to errors that drew the ire of media organizations, and its Genmoji custom emoji tool sometimes creates icons that look drastically different than those in Apple’s advertisements. More useful features, like Writing Tools, rely on OpenAI’s ChatGPT for text generation.

‎
MacDailyNews Take: Allowing developers to access on-device AI is a good start, however late (very) that start may be.
