Released October 13, 2026
New
- Support for claude.ai and the Claude Desktop app – Axiom can now be installed from either, and there’s a new guide to walk users through it.
- Core ML and Speech – The
axiom-aiskill suite now includes four new skills:coreml-deployment– Loading, caching and running models safely under Swift 6coreml-ref– The Core ML API referencecoreml-diag– Load errors, slow predictions, memory growth and accuracy lost to compressionspeech– File and live transcription with SpeechAnalyzer
Updated
- Accessibility – Accessibility guidance now rests on Accessibility Nutrition Labels (declare a feature only when every common task works with it), legal obligations, and the people who rely on it.
- Touch targets – Follow the HIG: a 44×44 pt hit region (60 pt on visionOS) and a 28×28 pt minimum control size.
- Foundation Models freezes – Traces a freeze to synchronous main-actor work around generation, since awaiting a session suspends rather than blocks. It also covers
isRespondingand concurrent requests on one session, whichfoundation-models-auditornow flags. - App Store Connect triage – Better catalogs what the App Store Connect API provides: TestFlight crash reports, plus hang, launch and disk-write diagnostics for App Store builds. The change covers
app-store-connect-ref,testflight-triage,production-triageandtriage-analyzer. asc-mcp– Updated coverage forasc-mcp4.1.6: 502 tools across 35 workers, snake_case parameters, worker presets, the confirmations destructive calls require, retry and read-only behavior, and TestFlight feedback withinclude_pii.- App Store screenshot sizes – Updated to follow Apple’s current display classes.
- Also updated – Core Location availability on all five platforms, which SwiftUI navigation failures SwiftUI logs, CarPlay simulation under Xcode 27, Apple-docs lookups through the SDK’s Swift interfaces and headers, and smaller updates in GRDB, CryptoKit, SpriteKit, RealityKit, Network framework, MapKit, watchOS and Instruments templates.
Fixed
- MCP server – In development mode, the server process now exits when its client disconnects.
- Pi – Sessions now list
xcprojectwith the other bundled tools, so the assistant knows it’s available. - Cursor – Generated build and test instructions now find
axbuildbefore running it.
Changed
- Bundled tools – Moved from
bin/totools/in the plugin, which lets Axiom install from claude.ai and the Claude Desktop app. - Documentation – Adds pages for Speech, Foundation Models guardrails and the Core ML skills, including conversion, compression and training. The storage,
asc-mcpandxcsympages each merge into one, with their old addresses redirecting.
