Add an option to use the Apple Inteligence Foundation model

Feature Request

This program is macOS only, and does support local LLM providers, however this requires set up and such, but as I said this is a Mac only app, and apple did introduce the foundation models API and I’m sure Apple Inteligence while not the smarttest is, plenty fast and smart for folder and file manipulation.

    Unfortunately it turns out that the on-device model is far too dumb to do what Substage needs. (Trust me, I’ve played with it a lot, it’s not gonna fly!)

    Apple doesn’t natively expose the Private Cloud Compute model which is smarter, though I did some hacky experiments to get access to it via Shortcuts, see this blog post:

    Even the PCC model though is… not great. It’s passable for very simple stuff but overall not really worth the hacky potentially unreliable Shortcuts integration unfortunately.

    That said, if Apple provides access to a better on device model in future, I’d definitely be more than happy to add this, so I’ll leave this feature request open!
