Evidence readout
BFCL agentic `25%` full catalog / approximately `0%` compact; Pace planner action-grounding `13%`
What the attempt taught
Apple Foundation Models are useful as a free routing floor and intel source, not as the core capability dependency.
Why it stopped or stayed bounded
Apple's on-device model could not ground actions well enough and its 4096-token context could not hold a real tool catalog.
Method and scope
- Experiment family: apple fm.
- Record kind: model evaluation.
- Objective: action grounding.
- Methods: evaluation.
- Base models: apple-foundation-models.
Disposition
Keep Core ML for our own weights as an optional future battery optimization, not a model-dependency bet.
This retained disposition is historical evidence, not authorization to restart the experiment. A new run needs a fresh question, frozen evaluator, explicit resource budget, and scoped tracking issue.
How to read this dossier
This canonical page separates the retained repository decision from the material that informed it. A source may describe an external claim, historical measurement, local observation, or planned procedure; those evidence classes are not interchangeable. Follow the provenance links before reusing a number or method.
Status and disposition describe what PostTrainLLM retained when this record was indexed. They are not a live product promise, a newly run benchmark, or permission to restart historical work. Unknown or unmeasured fields remain unknown rather than being treated as zero.
To reuse the record, first name the exact claim you need and trace it to the linked source. Then check whether the original environment, model revision, data split, evaluator, hardware, and budget match the proposed use. If they do not, treat the record as a hypothesis or design reference and run the smallest fresh comparison that can falsify it. Preserve negative outcomes and regressions beside any improvement; a local win on one slice does not silently become a general capability claim.
