About this project

On-device ML is Apple's strategic differentiator. This project teaches CoreML integration: load a Vision model, run inference on photos from the library or camera, and display results. Bonus: convert a custom model from PyTorch using Apple's coremltools and ship that instead of a stock one.

Why build this in 2026?

Apple Intelligence has made on-device ML a hiring differentiator for iOS roles.
