# MacLocalAPI is the repo for the afm command on macOS 26 Tahoe. The afm command (cli) allows one to access the on-device Apple LLM Foundation model from the command line in a single prompt or in API mode. It allows integration with other OS command line tools using standard Unix pipes.

# Additionally, it contains a built-in server that serves the on-device Foundation Model with the OpenAI standard SDK through an API. You can use the model with another front end such as Open WebUI. By default, launching the simple 'afm' command starts a server on port 9999 immediately! Simple, fast.

Note: afm command supports trained adapters using Apple's Toolkit: https://developer.apple.com/apple-intelligence/foundation-models-adapter/

I have also created a wrapper tool to make the fine-tuning AFM easier on both Macs M series and Linux with CUDA using Apple's provided LoRA toolkit.

# The TLDR quick installation of the afm command on MacOS 26 Tahoe:

Chose ONE of 2 methods to install (Homebrew or pip):

### Method 1: Homebrew
```bash
# Add the tap (first time only)
brew tap scouzi1966/afm

# Install or upgrade AFM
brew install afm
# OR upgrade existing:
brew upgrade afm

# Verify installation
afm --version  # Should show latest release

# Brew workaround If you are having issues upgrading, Try the following:
brew uninstall afm
brew untap scouzi1966/afm
# Then try again
```

### Method 2: pip
```bash
pip install macafm

# Verify installation
afm --version
```

**HOW TO USE afm:**
```bash

# Start the API server only (Apple Foundation Model on port 9999)
afm

# Start the API server with WebUI chat interface
afm -w

# Start with WebUI and API gateway (auto-discovers Ollama, LM Studio, Jan, etc.)
afm -w -g

# Start on a custom port with a trained LoRA adapter
afm -a ./my_adapter.fmadapter -p 9998

# Use in single prompt mode
afm -i "you are a pirate, you only answer in pirate jargon" -s "Write a story about Einstein"

# Use in single prompt mode with adapter
afm -s "Write a story about Einstein" -a ./my_adapter.fmadapter

# Use in pipe mode
ls -ltr | afm -i "list the files only of ls output"
```

A very simple to use macOS server application that exposes Apple's Foundation Models through OpenAI-compatible API endpoints. Run Apple Intelligence locally with full OpenAI API compatibility. For use with Python, JS or even open-webui (https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui).

With the same command, it also supports single mode to interact the model without starting the server. In this mode, you can pipe with any other command line based utilities. 

As a bonus, both modes allows the use of using a LoRA adapter, trained with Apple's toolkit. This allows to quickly test them without having to integrate them in your app or involve xCode.

The magic command is afm

Note: afm also accepts piped input from other commands, equivalent to using -s
with the piped content as the prompt.
```

### Environment Variables

The server respects standard logging environment variables:
- `LOG_LEVEL` - Set logging level (trace, debug, info, notice, warning, error, critical)

## ⚠️ Limitations & Notes

- **Model Scope**: Apple Foundation Model is a 3B parameter model (optimized for on-device performance)
- **macOS 26+ Only**: Requires the latest macOS with Foundation Models framework
- **Apple Intelligence Required**: Must be enabled in System Settings
- **Token Estimation**: Uses word-based approximation for token counting (Foundation model only; proxied backends report real counts)

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### "Foundation Models framework is not available"
1. Ensure you're running **macOS 26 or later
2. Enable **Apple Intelligence** in System Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri
3. Verify you're on an **Apple Silicon Mac**
4. Restart the application after enabling Apple Intelligence

### Server Won't Start
1. Check if the port is already in use: `lsof -i :9999`
2. Try a different port: `afm -p 8080`
3. Enable verbose logging: `afm -v`

### Build Issues
1. Ensure you have **Xcode 26 installed
2. Update Swift toolchain: `xcode-select --install`
3. Clean and rebuild: `swift package clean && swift build -c release`
