π Apple Intelligence
The on-device model as a first-class chat provider β private, free, offline.
On a Mac with Apple Intelligence enabled (macOS 26+), this package registers Apple's on-device foundation model as a language-model provider for the agent framework. There is no endpoint to configure and no API key to save β inference runs on the host through Apple's FoundationModels framework, spoken to over a small bundled bridge.
It is the default when nothing else is configured. Cloud providers sort first in the model catalog but only resolve with a key; the on-device model always resolves on a capable host β so a fresh local mesh chats out of the box, and configuring any cloud provider (or picking a model explicitly) takes precedence.
- Private β prompts never leave the device.
- Free β no metered tokens.
- Offline β works without a network.
- Model id:
apple-intelligence; on other operating systems the package is a no-op.
Part of the on-device routing direction (platform issue #2432): Gemini Nano on Android follows through the client-executed-round seam.
