Getting started with Swift

Previous Next

Quaynor's Swift binding is distributed through Swift Package Manager for iOS and macOS. Swift Package Manager, usually shortened to SwiftPM, is Apple's package manager for Swift and Xcode projects. The package downloads the published QuaynorFFI.xcframework from GitHub Releases, so consumers do not need a local Rust toolchain.

Install

Add the package in Xcode with:

  • URL: https://github.com/iBz-04/quaynor.git
  • Dependency rule: Up to Next Major Version
  • Version: 0.1.0

Or declare it in Package.swift:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/iBz-04/quaynor.git", from: "0.1.0")
]

Use it

The package exposes:

  • Model
  • Chat
  • TokenStream
  • Encoder
  • CrossEncoder
  • SamplerPresets
  • Prompt
  • Tool

That means Swift supports chat, streaming, embeddings, reranking, and tool calling through the wrapper API.

Example:

import Quaynor

let model = try await Model.fromPath(
    path: "huggingface:bartowski/Qwen_Qwen3-0.6B-GGUF/Qwen_Qwen3-0.6B-Q4_K_M.gguf"
)
let chat = Chat(model: model)
let answer = try await chat.ask("Is a zebra black or white?").completed()
print(answer)
