About the Book

Unlock the Power of Local AI on Your Mac!

Are you tired of relying on expensive, privacy-invasive cloud AI APIs? Step into the future of on-device intelligence with "AI Agents on Apple Silicon." This comprehensive guide teaches you how to harness the immense power of M-series chips to run Large Language Models (LLMs) locally, securely, and with blazing speed.

Master the cutting-edge of Swift 6 and AI integration.

From the creators of the "Swift & AI Programming Series," this volume provides a blueprint for building autonomous AI agents. You won't just learn to chat with a model; you'll learn to build systems that can read your files, use tools, and reason through complex tasks—all without an internet connection.

Inside this volume, you will find:

  • Direct LLM Integration: Step-by-step guides for using Ollama and llama.cpp within native Swift apps.
  • Modern Concurrency: Deep dives into Actors and Tasks to handle high-performance AI inference without freezing your UI.
  • RAG over Local Files: Build a private knowledge base where your AI learns from your own documents.
  • Function Calling: Give your AI "hands" by allowing it to trigger Swift code and system actions.
  • Pro-Level Distribution: Learn the secrets of Notarization and Sandboxing to distribute your AI apps outside the App Store.

Stop building simple wrappers and start building true edge intelligence. Whether you are targeting macOS or iOS, this book provides the technical depth and practical examples needed to turn your Mac into a private AI powerhouse.

Level up your Swift skills and join the local AI revolution today!

About the Author

Edgar Milvus

A veteran software engineer with 20 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to the art of automation. My philosophy is simple: programming should eliminate repetitive chores to unlock human creativity. This journey began early on with the development of custom code-generation tools and has evolved into a deep mastery of LLMs and their APIs. Today, I specialize in architecting AI-driven solutions that handle everything from complex coding and security tasks to advanced knowledge retrieval, transforming the way we interact with technology
