## AI overview

swift-transformers reaches version 1.0 as a Swift library for running local models on Apple Silicon, including iPhones. It combines input preparation, Hugging Face Hub access, local caching and offline downloads, and wrappers for running Core ML-converted LLMs. The release establishes a stable foundation for Apple-focused local inference and future MLX and agentic use cases.
