## Summary

Hugging Face announced AnyLanguageModel 1.0, a Swift library that lets iOS, macOS, visionOS and Linux apps use local or hosted language models through a shared Foundation Models API. The update adds tool calling, guided generation (including nested @Generable types) and image support for all providers, and moves API‑key handling to closures for short‑lived tokens.

The library now works with OpenAI’s Chat Completions, Anthropic’s Messages, Google’s Gemini, Ollama, Private Cloud Compute, Hugging Face Inference Providers and OpenRouter endpoints. Local models can run via llama.cpp, MLX or Core ML, while larger open‑weight models can be accessed through the Inference Providers layer. Popular downloadable models listed on the Hub include Gemma 4 E2B (≈3.4 GB), LFM2.5 2.6B (≈1.7 GB), Qwen3.8 27B (≈16 GB) and GLM‑5.3 (≈1.5 TB). Swift‑huggingface 1.0 and swift‑xet 1.0 also ship to accelerate model downloads. Migration guidance is provided for developers updating existing apps.

## Key points

- AnyLanguageModel 1.0 adds tool calling, guided generation, and image support across all providers.
- Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, Private Cloud Compute, Hugging Face Inference and OpenRouter via unified API.

## Why it matters
