It supports CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine execution, offers a modern Swift API with memory-safe non-escapable types, and integrates with PyTorch for model conversion via the coreai-torch Python package. The talk walks through converting a PyTorch model to the .aimodel format, integrating it into an Xcode project, and optimizing inference using key-value caching via stateful models. Additional features include ahead-of-time compilation, model specialization and caching APIs, a visual debugger for tracing tensor values back to Python source, dedicated Instruments support, and a Core AI Models repository with pre-optimized popular models. All inference runs locally with no server costs or per-token fees. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
