Model Guardrails Too Restrictive?
I'm experimenting with using the Foundation Models framework to do news summarization in an RSS app but I'm finding that a lot of articles are getting kicked back with a vague message about guardrails. This seems really common with political news but we're talking mainstream stuff, i.e. Politico, etc. If the models are this restrictive, this will be tough to use. Is this intended? FB17904424

Foundation Models Error: Local Sanitizer Asset
Hi, I just upgraded to macOS Tahoe Beta 2 and now I'm getting this error when I try to initialize my Foundation Models' session: Error Resource (Local Sanitizer Asset) unavailable error. import FoundationModels #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() do { let result = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me 3 colors") print(result.content) } catch { print("Error", error) } } I couldn't find any resource guiding me on how to solve this. Any help/workaround? Thank you!

Initializing LanguageModelSession crashes app on macOS
Whenever I try to initialize a LanguageModelSession (let session = LanguageModelSession()), my app crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS. SystemLanguageModel.default.availability returns available. I tried running the two sample projects I found that use Foundation Models, FoundationModelsTripPlanner and SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp, and they both also crash—immediately on launch. I commented out the Foundation Models logic from the SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp and ran it again, and it no longer crashed. I'm on macOS 26 Beta 4 on an M1 Pro device. I'm based in Austria (EU), if that matters.

"FoundationModels GenerationError error 2" on iOS 26 beta 3
Hi all, I'm working on an app that utilizes the FoundationModels found in iOS 26. I updated my phone to iOS 26 beta 3 and am now receiving the following error when trying to run code that worked in beta 2: Al Error: The operation couldn't be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.Genera- tionError error 2.) I admit I'm a bit of a new developer, but any idea if this is an issue with beta 3 or work that I'll need to do to adapt my code to some changes in the AI API? Thank you!
