Apple is about to give developers access to its in-house AI models, marking a major shift in how Apple Intelligence shows up across the App Store.

If you want to see what Apple-style AI actually looks like in the wild, this is where it starts getting interesting.

Apple’s stepping out of its usual walled garden—at least a little—by opening up Apple Intelligence to developers.

If you’ve been following Apple’s cautious approach to AI, this shouldn’t shock you. It’s a move that sets a quieter tone compared to Google’s I/O event, where every product seemed rebuilt around generative AI.

Apple’s take is more about layering AI into what people already do: a new battery-saving feature, health-focused enhancements, and even a Siri-Gemini crossover for cloud-based tasks.

But the real headline is this: Apple’s own large language models—the same ones powering features like notification summaries, writing tools, and image generation—are going public, at least for developers.

According to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, Apple is prepping an SDK and supporting frameworks to let developers bake Apple’s AI models into their own apps.

The official announcement is expected to drop June 9 at WWDC. Initially, devs will get access to the on-device models—small but efficient—which means AI features that are fast, private, and don’t need a cloud connection.

This will be paired with a new Apple OS for all devices, code-named Solarium.

That’s Apple playing to its strengths: tight integration, privacy-first design, and ecosystem control.

And it’s aiming to turn the App Store into one of the most active playgrounds for consumer AI.

This could be Apple's to turn the tide on it's slow-crawl inti AI, where they've lagged behind Google.

Apple may not be winning the race for raw AI power, but it’s laying the foundation to ship a lot more of it—fast.

Google will always have a limited number of AI tools by nature, but Apple will have an ecosytem of app developers that can run wild with new products and services.

This isn’t about building the next ChatGPT inside iOS.

It’s about giving developers the tools to add smart, Apple-native features into the apps people already use.

Think auto-sorting emails, live writing suggestions, or intelligent photo edits—only now, built by third parties with Apple’s tools.

The bigger, cloud-based models are still locked down for now.

But this is a clear signal: Apple’s ready to let others help define what Apple Intelligence actually means.
