ClaudeForFoundationModels

Claude for Foundation Models

Use Claude as a server-side language model through Apple's [Foundation Models](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels) framework. The package conforms Claude to the framework's `LanguageModel` protocol, so you drive it with the same `LanguageModelSession` API you use for Apple's on-device model — `respond(to:)`, streaming, guided generation, and tool calling all work the same way.

**Beta.** This package targets the Foundation Models server-side language model API introduced in the OS 27 betas. APIs may change before general availability.
