Apple trained an LLM to teach itself good interface design in SwiftUI

In a new study, a group of Apple researchers describe a very interesting approach they took to, basically, get an open-source model to teach itself how to build good interfaces in SwiftUI. Here’s how they did it

In the paper UICoder: Finetuning Large Language Models to Generate User Interface Code through Automated Feedback, the researchers explain that while LLMs have gotten better at multiple writing tasks, including creative writing and coding, they still struggle to “reliably…
