I created "apfel" https://github.com/Arthur-Ficial/apfel a CLI for the apple on-device local foundation model (Apple intelligence) yeah its super limited with its 4k context window and super common false positives guardrails (just ask it to describe a color) ... bit still ... using it in bash scripts that just work without calling home / out or incurring extra costs feels super powerful.

nice project, thanks for sharing.

any plans for providing it through brew for easy installation?

Honestly I can't believe Apple put that foundation model product out the door. I was so excited about it, but when I tried it, it was such a disappointment. Glad to hear you calling that out so I know it wasn't just me.

Looks like they have pivoted completely over to Gemini, thank god.
