Parameters
Not collected
Architecture
Parallel-Track Mixture-of-Experts; three 4,096-window local layers followed by one global-attention layerSource for Architecture (opens in a new tab)
Languages
16 languages in technical report; overview says 15Source for Languages (opens in a new tab)

Preserve the source discrepancy. Supported-language count is not a promise that every feature supports every locale.

Context caching
Not collected
Quantization and compression
3.56-bit ASTC decoder compression; 4-bit embeddings; 8-bit KV cacheSource for Quantization and compression (opens in a new tab)
Vision encoder
1B-parameter ViT-gSource for Vision encoder (opens in a new tab)

Component size, not the language decoder or total model size.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Apple Private Cloud Compute (2025 reference)

Provider source (opens in a new tab)
API model ID
Not collected

Product or SDK model identity, not a verified public HTTP model selector.

Access
Integrated server generation. The later OS 27 SDK is not backdated onto this checkpoint.
Regions
Supported Apple devices, OS versions, languages and regions only. A device-local model is not a guarantee of access in every market.

Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.

Data & enterprise terms

Retention, training use, regional processing and enterprise terms have not been summarized for this endpoint.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Apple documents this proprietary product model. No matching unrestricted public checkpoint was verified in the reviewed Apple weight inventory. Closed-weight classification is inferred for this product identity; OS delivery and member-gated model assets do not imply an open-weight release.
