Modern, Swift-native APIs for text, vision, tools, and realtime voice.

Install

Swift Package Manager:

.package(url: "https://github.com/steipete/Tachikoma.git", branch: "main"),

.product(name: "Tachikoma", package: "Tachikoma"),

Quick Start

import Tachikoma

let text = try await generate("Write a haiku about Swift.", using: .anthropic(.opus45))
print(text)

Streaming

import Tachikoma

let stream = try await stream("Explain actors in Swift.", using: .openai(.gpt52))
for try await delta in stream {
    print(delta.content ?? "", terminator: "")
}

Conversation

import Tachikoma

let conversation = Conversation()
conversation.addUserMessage("You are a concise assistant.")
conversation.addUserMessage("Summarize Swift concurrency in 3 bullets.")
let reply = try await conversation.continue(using: .anthropic(.opus45))
print(reply)

Vision

import Tachikoma

let pngData: Data = /* ... */
let image = ImageInput(data: pngData, mimeType: "image/png")
let answer = try await analyze(image: image, prompt: "What’s in this image?", using: .openai(.gpt4o))
print(answer)

Tools (function calling)

import Tachikoma

let tool = createTool(
    name: "add",
    description: "Add two integers",
    parameters: [
        .init(name: "a", type: .integer, description: "First"),
        .init(name: "b", type: .integer, description: "Second"),
    ]
) { args in
    let a = try args.intValue("a")
    let b = try args.intValue("b")
    return ["sum": a + b]
}

let result = try await generateText(
    model: .openai(.gpt52),
    messages: [.user("Compute 123 + 456 using the add tool.")],
    tools: [tool],
    maxSteps: 3
)
print(result.text)
