Apple Foundation Models: local AI natively on MacOS 27

Maybe some of you know but I didn’t see any post about this. Apple just made available their AFM model on MacOS 27 natively. Just run fm chat in a terminal.

Disclaimer: I’m an open weight person. I prefer open models and ecosystem, but I’ll still open the discussion.

Did you test them? Build using them? Are these models good?

I feel like this is still a huge step in the direction of local AI that a company like Apple does this and release hardware optimized models.

So what do you think?
