Did you know: First-class differentiable programming in Swift lets you step over your code *backwards* using LLDB during backpropagation.

- Swift for TensorFlow now has a Jupyter notebook tutorial, with latest available features like first-class autodiff on arbitrary structs, the new dataset API, and the parameter aggregate API. github.com/tensorflow/swi…
- The team that built the Foundation Models framework is hiring! Join us to create the best LLM APIs, both for app developers and for Apple teams. jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…
- My team in Apple Core ML is hiring! We are looking for a compiler engineer to work on Swift (compiler and language design) and machine learning frameworks. Feel free to DM me if you are interested :)
- New documentation about how differentiable programming works in Swift: • Differentiable Functions and Differentiation APIs: github.com/tensorflow/swi… • Differentiable Types: github.com/tensorflow/swi… With language integration, autodiff is just a compiler implementation detail.
- On behalf of the whole team I'm so proud to introduce the Foundation Models framework, an API to access our on-device LLM! Check out the Platforms State of the Union for an introduction and 4 sessions later today! developer.apple.com/news/?id=us98z… #WWDC25
- Interested in joining the Swift Charts team? I'm hiring in sunny San Diego! My team in SwiftUI partners with data visualization researchers in Apple’s Machine Intelligence group to empower developers to create beautiful, customizable charts. Apply here: jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…
- Accidentally mistyped a variable name and caused zero gradient? Swift warns you at compile-time.
- I wrote a manifesto for first-class Automatic Differentiation in Swift.
- Swift for TensorFlow is open-source! Check out design overview: github.com/tensorflow/swi…
- Sequential coming to Swift for TensorFlow via function builders :) cc @eaplatanios github.com/tensorflow/swi…
- Why data scientists should start learning Swift – Heartbeat heartbeat.fritz.ai/why-data-scien…
- We open sourced Swift for TensorFlow's deep learning library as a SwiftPM package. Join the development!
- Some personal update: After almost 2 years on the Swift for TensorFlow team since its very beginning, I’ve decided to leave Google to go on a new adventure. It was an incredible journey bringing up S4TF and AutoDiff! Pic: Drawing from the early days before S4TF was unveiled.
