February Swift & Apple Platform Developer Meetup
Entain Group, 25 Montpelier Road, Bowen Hills, Brisbane, AUCome meet other Apple platform (iOS, macOS, etc) developers over some pizza and a soft drink/beer.
Please note there has been a change in venues and it's now hosted at Entain Group's office in Bowen Hills at 25 Montpelier Road.
This month’s talk walks through how to run Google’s MedGemma 1.5 — a 4B parameter medical vision-language model — natively on an iPhone using Apple’s open-source MLX framework and SwiftUI.
Running models on-device means zero server costs, no API keys, offline capability, and full user privacy — critical when working with medical images.
The session covers the MLX Swift ecosystem, real-world gotchas encountered (memory pressure, stop-token quirks), and concludes with a live demo analysing a medical image entirely on-device. No ML background required.
A special thanks to Mantel Group for providing the pizza 🍕
