Thanks for the feedback. I did not know my Mac had an on-device Apple Foundation model. Is it multimodal? I'll be checking it out and comparing it with Google Gemma 4. I thought Apple was out of the AI model race.

The idea is to ship more powerful lightweight free models as they become available. I'm looking forward to Gemma 5!

You are totally right. A new feature for a future version would be to turn off the model when the app is idle. And only launch it next time the user takes a screenshot. It is a trade-off between latency to generate the names and memory RAM.

It's not as powerful as Gemma 4, but I think they likened it to GPT-3. It's perfectly capable of looking at images and classifying them at the level you'll need for this app. And it runs everything on the Apple Neural engines, so decently quick. Of course, this assumes that your users are using Apple Silicon processors, I believe that's the limitation – and they must have enabled Apple Intelligence which downloads the model at that point.
