The MiniSwift macOS Emulator is nearing completion. Below is a sample video showcasing the Siri emulation.
I’d like to clarify a few points here:
1. This visual output is not a CSS or JS emulation.
2. It takes your Swift project's SiriKit integration code, processes it through UIIR, and renders it directly onto a web canvas.
As for the AI side of things, I’d like to share a few thoughts.
Initially, the Foundation library that came with macOS 26 was more ideal for my needs, as it featured a 3B local model. This aligned perfectly with MiniSwift’s core philosophy of offline-first operation.
So, how did I tackle the challenge when things shifted?
I developed an end-to-end LLM architecture called https://llm.istanbul written entirely in WebGPU, giving me absolute control over the system.
After extensive trial and error, I built my own foundation model and successfully embedded it into this project, leveraging WebGPU once again.
Since Apple’s 3B foundation model wasn't highly efficient to begin with, I was confident that I could replicate and reflect the core capabilities it offered.
However, with the upcoming Apple 27 update, it looks like they are transitioning to a completely cloud-based architecture.
Consequently, I likely won't be able to utilize Apple's native Siri services. Because of this, the cloud-based Siri model currently remains a gray area for MiniSwift.
But it’s not a major setback. I’ve overcome plenty of hurdles before, and I’m confident I’ll find a way around this one too ;-)
