Overview

Claude for Foundation Models is a Swift package from Anthropic that lets you use Claude as a server-side language model through Apple's Foundation Models framework. You create a ClaudeLanguageModel and use it with LanguageModelSession like any other Foundation Models provider. It's for app developers who want Claude's models behind Apple's standard API.

Features

  • ClaudeLanguageModel plugs into LanguageModelSession
  • Streaming responses with streamResponse(to:)
  • Structured output with @Generable types
  • Choice of Claude models, effort levels and fallbacks for declined requests
  • App Attest authentication for production, or an API key for simulator development
  • Per-user attribution through Anthropic user profiles

Requirements

  • iOS 27, macOS 27, visionOS 27 or watchOS 27 (beta)
  • Xcode 27 (beta)
  • An App Attest client ID from the Anthropic console, or an API key for simulator development
  • The bundled example needs a macOS 27 host

Install

  1. Add the package to Package.swift, or use File > Add Package Dependencies in Xcode

    .package(url: "https://github.com/anthropics/ClaudeForFoundationModels.git", from: "0.1.0")
  2. Import it alongside FoundationModels

    import FoundationModels
    import ClaudeForFoundationModels

Example

Create a ClaudeLanguageModel, pass it to a LanguageModelSession and ask it to "Plan a 4-day trip to Buenos Aires."
