🚀 Quick Start

Image Classification (Currently Available ✅)

import MLModel

// Load pipeline
let pipeline = try await ImageClassificationPipeline(
    model: "apple/mobilenet-v3"
)

// Classify image
let result = try await pipeline(myImage)
print("Label: \(result.label)")
print("Confidence: \(result.confidence * 100)%")

// Get top 5 predictions
for (label, score) in result.topK(5) {
    print("\(label): \(score * 100)%")
}

Batch Processing

// Process multiple images at once
let images = [image1, image2, image3]
let results = try await pipeline(images)

for (index, result) in results.enumerated() {
    print("Image \(index + 1): \(result.label)")
}

Platform-Specific Usage

// iOS/UIKit
let uiImage = UIImage(named: "photo")!
let result = try await pipeline(uiImage: uiImage)

// macOS/AppKit
let nsImage = NSImage(named: "photo")!
let result = try await pipeline(nsImage: nsImage)

Advanced Usage

// Use specific model
let model = try await ImageClassificationModel.load(
    "apple/mobilenet-v3",
    engineType: .coreML
)

// Direct model prediction
let output = try await model.predict(image: cgImage)

// Access all scores
for (label, score) in output.scores.sorted(by: { $0.value > $1.value }).prefix(10) {
    print("\(label): \(String(format: "%.4f", score))")
}

// Cleanup
await pipeline.unload()

Coming Soon

The following APIs are planned for future releases:

// Text Classification (Future)
let classifier = try await TextClassificationPipeline(
    model: "distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english"
)
let result = try await classifier("I love this!")

// Object Detection (Future)
let detector = try await ObjectDetectionPipeline(
    model: "facebook/detr-resnet-50"
)
let detections = try await detector(image)
