Exploring Next — Ep 483 w/ Justy & Cody — Apple Foundation Models

Apple's Claude for Foundation Models is a Swift package that wraps Claude into Apple's Foundation Models framework, letting developers swap Claude in and out of the same LanguageModelSession API used for on-device models. Requests route directly to Anthropic's API (Apple doesn't see them), and developers pay standard Claude API rates. The package handles model capabilities, effort levels, structured output, client and server-side tools, vision, and error mapping — all with the same interface whether you're calling Claude or an on-device model.
