In case others are confused about the term "Foundation Models":

"Foundation Models" is an Apple product name for a framework that taps into a bunch of Apple's on-device AI models.

No, the model itself is one of the two Apple foundation language models (the AFM-on-device, specifically)

The architecture is such that the model can be specialized by plugging in more task-specific fine-tuning models as adapters, for instance one made for handling email tasks.

At least in this version, it looks like they have only enabled use of one fine-tuning model (content tagging)

    You are wrong. Citation: I read the post. The purpose of the post is to announce the Foundation Models framework. It's mentioned in the very first paragraph and throughout the post.

    The Foundation Models framework documentation:

    https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels/

      > The Foundation Models framework provides access to 
  > Apple’s on-device large language model that powers 
  > Apple Intelligence to help you perform intelligent 
  > tasks specific to your use case.

    Sure, the models are also named the same. That's beside the point. That's not the point of the post you're correcting me on, which is again, announcing the framework.
