The standout is AFM 3 Core Advanced, a 20-billion-parameter multimodal on-device model that sidesteps DRAM limits by running from flash storage, loading only 1–4 billion 'expert' parameters at a time via a technique called Instruction-Following Pruning. Three cloud models handle heavier workloads, with the top-tier AFM 3 Cloud Pro running on Nvidia GPUs in Google Cloud under Apple's Private Cloud Compute privacy architecture. For developers, a new model-abstraction layer in the Foundation Models framework allows swapping in third-party models like Claude or Gemini without code rewrites, and iOS 27 will allow users to set a rival assistant as default. The models are Apple's own but trained on Google's TPUs, with Google's frontier models reportedly powering the heaviest Siri reasoning tasks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
