Local Agentic AI on Mac using MLX: issues solved with Gemma-4
I was keen on trying local models with Xcode agents after watching the WWDC 2026 session Run Local agentic AI on the Mac using MLX https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/232/ Ran into a few issues while following the three setup steps shown in the session, so I put together a small project with the workarounds I used: https://github.com/jdhark-com/opencode_mlx_bridge/ I needed to use another model than the one demonstrated. The main issue I hit was that running: mlx_lm.server --model mlx-community/gemma-4-e4b-it-4bit failed with: ValueError: Received 126 parameters not in model The workaround in start_xcode_server.py is to load the model with strict=False which resolved the issue for me. opencode.json prompt config really helped to get more verbose feedback from the model. Hopefully this helps anyone else trying to get a local MLX model working as an Xcode agent.

New Siri AI and indexing stuck
New siri AI and indexing stuck for over 65 hours i’ve tried everything. Hard restarting my phone, putting an airplane mode doing the diagnostics, everything, but nothing still helps. I also downloaded the iOS 27 beta on my iPad Air 13 inch M3 and the same thing happened to it I’m waiting over 24 hours now. Does anybody know how to resolve this because I am tired of waiting and waiting

siri waitlist
How are some people getting access within 10 minutes while I've been waiting for over a week? In fact, it's been 48 hrs since I joined the waitlist. This is honestly ridiculous. I've met all the requirements, enabled every necessary setting, and still have no access. Meanwhile, others are getting approved almost instantly. If the rollout is based on a waitlist, then it should be handled fairly and consistently. Waiting this long for a feature update is extremely frustrating, especially when there has been little to no communication about the delay.

Nearly 70 hours on Siri waitlist
Downloaded the moment WWDC presentation ended at 11a PT. Phone 17 Air, English (US) Plugged in over (3) nights Still indexing Rebooted 5+ times Still waitlisted. The only feature anyone cares about is gated. So much for “available immediately“. Losing trust with Apple fast here.

Siri Ai waitlist.
I’ve been waiting since 2:30 PM EST yesterday. It’s been well over 24 hours. It’s never taken this long before my phones finish indexing, so I know it’s not that. Also signed up for it right away. And still not accepted, which is very weird because I’ve seen it on Reddit pages where people have signed up earlier today and have been accepted already. No clue what’s going on. Wish we can get some type of answer

Apple Intelligence
Hello, I have an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 27 Developer Beta. The “Apple Intelligence & Siri” menu does not appear in Settings. I only have the regular Siri menu, and Apple Intelligence features such as Writing Tools are unavailable. I have already: Set my iPhone language to English (US) Set my region to United States Updated to iOS 27 Developer Beta Restarted the device What confuses me is that this same iPhone previously belonged to my father, and I clearly remember Apple Intelligence being available on this device before I signed in with my own Apple Account. After switching to my account, Apple Intelligence disappeared completely. My model number is MV923CH/A. Has anyone experienced this or knows what might be causing it? Thank you.

Confused about Foundation models
Hi! From my past experience, I know that foundation models from last year have really small context window and this year with the new foundation models. I suspect the context window gets much larger, but if the new Siri AI is coming only two iPhone 17. Does that mean my iPhone 16 will not get that new foundation model models, bigger context.

Cloud based Siri AI for older devices
If some Siri AI features work on cloud why not for older device? Apple Devs mentioned that the Siri AI is available for iPhone 15 and later devices and we can use iCloud+ Subscription to use it more on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute (PCC). So if it can run some functions on Private Cloud why not for people with older device? Or will Apple make it compatible with older devices on upcoming beta updates? Also, I noticed that other Phone companies have these features in phones that are way less powerful than iPhone 11 (Which is a oldest device support iOS 27) I tested some ai models from 3rd party apps that are less than 300MB and it worked very well than the old siri so can We add some Siri features to older iPhone? So we can avoid people from switching to other phones. Because I don’t want my friends leaving iPhone.

Visual Intelligence API SemanticContentDescriptor labels are empty
I'm trying to use Apple's new Visual Intelligence API for recommending content through screenshot image search. The problem I encountered is that the SemanticContentDescriptor labels are either completely empty or super misleading, making it impossible to query for similar content on my app. Even the closest matching example was inaccurate, returning a single label ["cardigan"] for a Supreme T-Shirt. I see other apps using this API like Etsy for example, and I'm wondering if they're using the input pixel buffer to query for similar content rather than using the labels? If anyone has a similar experience or something that wasn't called out in the documentation please lmk! Thanks.

Genmoji API — are local edits and non-text usage (e.g., widgets) allowed?
Hi, I'm integrating the Genmoji API (NSAdaptiveImageGlyph) into my app and would like to confirm two things: Local editing of generated Genmoji. After the user creates a Genmoji, can the app apply edits to the resulting image (e.g., pixelation)? The edited image would be stored only on-device within the app and never shared externally. Use outside text contexts. Can a generated Genmoji be used in other parts of the app, such as a home screen widget? Apple's documentation and the WWDC24 session focus on inline text, stickers, and Tapbacks, but I couldn't find explicit guidance on widget or other UI usage. I checked the Human Interface Guidelines, WWDC24 session "Bring expression to your app with Genmoji," and the App Store Review Guidelines, but couldn't find clear answers. Any guidance or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Python 3.13
Hello, Are there any plans to compile a python 3.13 version of tensorflow-metal? Just got my new Mac mini and the automatically installed version of python installed by brew is python 3.13 and while if I was in a hurry, I could manage to get python 3.12 installed and use the corresponding tensorflow-metal version but I'm not in a hurry. Many thanks, Alan

Siri not calling my INExtension
Things I did: created an Intents Extension target added "Supported Intents" to both my main app target and the intent extension, with "INAddTasksIntent" and "INCreateNoteIntent" created the AppIntentVocabulary in my main app target created the handlers in the code in the Intents Extension target class AddTaskIntentHandler: INExtension, INAddTasksIntentHandling { func resolveTaskTitles(for intent: INAddTasksIntent) async -> [INSpeakableStringResolutionResult] { if let taskTitles = intent.taskTitles { return taskTitles.map { INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.success(with: $0) } } else { return [INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.needsValue()] } } func handle(intent: INAddTasksIntent) async -> INAddTasksIntentResponse { // my code to handle this... let response = INAddTasksIntentResponse(code: .success, userActivity: nil) response.addedTasks = tasksCreated.map { INTask( title: INSpeakableString(spokenPhrase: $0.name), status: .notCompleted, taskType: .completable, spatialEventTrigger: nil, temporalEventTrigger: intent.temporalEventTrigger, createdDateComponents: DateHelper.localCalendar().dateComponents([.year, .month, .day, .minute, .hour], from: Date.now), modifiedDateComponents: nil, identifier: $0.id ) } return response } } class AddItemIntentHandler: INExtension, INCreateNoteIntentHandling { func resolveTitle(for intent: INCreateNoteIntent) async -> INSpeakableStringResolutionResult { if let title = intent.title { return INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.success(with: title) } else { return INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.needsValue() } } func resolveGroupName(for intent: INCreateNoteIntent) async -> INSpeakableStringResolutionResult { if let groupName = intent.groupName { return INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.success(with: groupName) } else { return INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.needsValue() } } func handle(intent: INCreateNoteIntent) async -> INCreateNoteIntentResponse { do { // my code for handling this... let response = INCreateNoteIntentResponse(code: .success, userActivity: nil) response.createdNote = INNote( title: INSpeakableString(spokenPhrase: itemName), contents: itemNote.map { [INTextNoteContent(text: $0)] } ?? [], groupName: INSpeakableString(spokenPhrase: list.name), createdDateComponents: DateHelper.localCalendar().dateComponents([.day, .month, .year, .hour, .minute], from: Date.now), modifiedDateComponents: nil, identifier: newItem.id ) return response } catch { return INCreateNoteIntentResponse(code: .failure, userActivity: nil) } } } uninstalled my app restarted my physical device and simulator Yet, when I say "Remind me to buy dog food in Index" (Index is the name of my app), as stated in the examples of INAddTasksIntent, Siri proceeds to say that a list named "Index" doesn't exist in apple Reminders app, instead of processing the request in my app. Am I missing something?

Programmatic image creation using ImageCreator
Hello, Could you please provide details for maximum string length of the prompt and the title when using ImageCreator and the method extracted(from:title:)? static func extracted( from text: String, title: String? = nil ) -> ImagePlaygroundConcept Any additional details or example of prompt and title would help. Additionally, are ImagePlaygroundStyle.animation, ImagePlaygroundStyle.illustration and ImagePlaygroundStyle.sketch all available when using extracted(from:title:)? I am trying to generate images programmatically and would appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

Siri Ai
I don’t think this Siri waitlist is normal, I am on iPhone 16 Pro Max in the US set to English and I’ve been on the new Siri waitlist for >48 hours. Is this a bug?
