In a few taps users can discover new shows to see, purchase and view theatre tickets, and preorder food and drink to their seat before the show and during the interval! ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ‘€

Private Cloud Compute is Apple's privacy conscious cloud for large language models. Giving you more accurate and private responses at the same time. โ˜๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ฌ ๐Ÿ‘

If you use Apple's Foundational Models inside the Shortcuts App you may find the responses generic. That's because language models on device hit hardware limits.

To solve, you can switch to using Private Cloud Compute in a couple of taps. Resulting in more accurate responses!

Using Appleโ€™s Foundational Models in the Shortcuts App Hereโ€™s a short but sweet story about quickly getting access to Appleโ€™s Foundational Models without writing a line of code.

If you're looking for more ideas using Apple's Foundational Models there's a few more resources available here on my blog: darrylbayliss.net/using-apples...

Building your own Generative AI workflows on your iPhone is simple as a few taps using the Shortcuts App.

Super useful if you're looking to prototype what is possible using Apple's foundational models without writing a line of code.

Been playing around with iOS 26 recently. I was pleasantly surprised at how accessible Apple's Language Models are using the Shortcuts App. So much so I thought it was worth writing about in a short post. ๐ŸŽ

I gave a talk touching upon this subject a couple of months ago and was pretty happy with the reaction to it. Afterwards I received feedback that people were interested in a live demo, which is a tricky thing to show in a satisfying way in a small amount of time. ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ

If you're learning about the latest changes to concurrency in Swift 6.2 as part of your WWDC review, why not take the time to refresh the basics via these set of lessons.

I'm proud to see these out in the wild. Check them out, and hope you enjoy! โ˜บ๏ธ

They cover the basics from using Tasks for unstructured concurrency, building up to using TaskGroups, async await, and the concept of Actors. ๐ŸŽญ

Finally, complete your knowledge by learning how to leverage AsyncStreams and AsyncSequences for your own needs. ๐Ÿ”ด โžก๏ธ ๐Ÿ”ต โžก๏ธ ๐ŸŸข

Concurrency & Asynchronous Programming in Swift This module explores concurrency and asynchronous programming in Swift. Youโ€™ll learn about structured concurrency, actors, and advanced optimization techniques.

Concurrent programming is a technique to allow apps perform multiple actions at once. All while making it appear seamless to the user!๐Ÿ“ฑ
