⸻
Summary
We are seeking highly skilled and detail-oriented Swift/iOS developers to participate in a short-term project aimed at testing and providing feedback on Apple’s new on-device foundation model framework.
Your main responsibility will be to evaluate the practical usability of the model from a developer’s perspective. You will follow a structured testing guide to assess performance, API ergonomics, and output quality in real-world use cases.
The final deliverable will be a detailed feedback report outlining your findings, with a focus on identifying “addressable gaps.”
Responsibilities:
• Set up the required development environment (Xcode 26, macOS Tahoe, etc.).
• Perform performance and limitation testing on the on-device model (e.g., latency, context window size).
• Implement or adapt at least two real-world use cases using the FoundationModels framework and the @Generable macro for structured output.
• Integrate a feature into an existing open-source Swift application (e.g., NetNewsWire, Mlem), or your own app if you have one, to test real-world performance.
• Document your findings, providing specific, actionable feedback on API usability, output quality, and performance.
• Submit a final, structured report detailing your results and analysis.
Required Skills & Experience:
• Expert-level proficiency in Swift and SwiftUI.
• Experience building AI applications and using LLM APIs.
• Must have the necessary hardware (Apple Silicon Mac M1 or later), and be able to run macOS Tahoe, Xcode 26, and enable Apple Intelligence.
• Extensive experience with modern iOS/macOS development in Xcode.
• Experience with performance profiling and debugging in Xcode (e.g., using Instruments for time and memory analysis).
• Excellent written communication skills in English, with the ability to provide clear, concise, and actionable feedback.
Bonus Points:
• A portfolio of high-quality, publicly available apps on the App Store.
• Experience contributing to open-source Swift projects.
Project Details:
• Project Length: Short-term (estimated 2–3 days)
• Estimated Time Commitment: 10–15 hours total
• Experience Level: Expert. We are looking for seasoned developers whose feedback will be highly valuable.
