Table of Contents
Set up Swift 6 strict concurrency, Core ML 8, and an actor-based inference pipeline for production iOS and macOS apps.
Architectural patterns for model lifecycle, streaming inference, fallback routing, and feature encapsulation in Swift 6 apps.
Design local-first AI systems that align with App Privacy Details, data minimization, and regulated-domain audit requirements.
Tune throughput, memory, thermal behavior, and startup latency with quantization, batching, and actor-aware scheduling.
Build repeatable test harnesses for deterministic outputs, drift detection, privacy assertions, and failure-state coverage.
Ship AI features safely with staged rollouts, runtime capability checks, observability, and App Store delivery controls.
