Summary

  • Top-level README: providers come first, right after the intro. The providers table now lists Core AI (marked not released), and each provider has a short section with a snippet and links to its package README and docs. JSON UI, DevTools and Utils (previously missing) are grouped under Tools. The AI SDK compatibility table moved down.
  • Package READMEs (Apple, Llama, Core AI, ADK, Utils, DevTools, JSON UI): each is titled with its npm name and opens with a paragraph that stands on its own. The paragraph says what the package is for, that it comes as a Vercel AI SDK provider (where relevant), and which sibling package to use instead.
  • Apple: features table (framework, AI SDK function, iOS version), usage for text, embeddings, transcription and speech, and the iOS 26/27 table now includes Spotlight and live microphone transcription.
  • Llama: features table including reranking, requirements, install and usage.
  • Core AI: "API Layers" becomes a Features list split into AI SDK and native APIs, including tool calling (feat(core-ai): call function tools from language models #338). Snippets use the string source from refactor(core-ai)!: take the model source as one string and drop unused config fields #345.
  • ADK: only the title and intro change, since feat(adk): align with apple, upgrade to adk 1.4 and support ai sdk 7 features #268 rewrites the rest.

Notes

  • The Llama install command keeps react-native-blob-util. Bare React Native autolinks only direct dependencies.
  • docs: clean up the apple and llama docs #339 changes the docs link line in the Apple and Llama READMEs, so whichever merges second gets a one-line conflict.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Reorganized the main README around provider packages, with a provider comparison, installation and usage examples, and a tools overview.
    • Expanded provider guides with platform requirements, model setup, and capabilities for text, embeddings, transcription, speech, image generation, and tool calling.
    • Clarified differences between built-in and app-provided models, Android Gemini Nano availability, and documented provider limitations.
    • Updated DevTools setup guidance and examples, and revised information about JSON UI, long-chat workflows, and package documentation links.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "docs: restructure the readme and describe each package on its own" matches the main change. The PR restructures the top-level README and the package READMEs, and gives each package its own standalone introduction. The title is short, specific, and follows a conventional commit prefix. It does not mention the Core AI addition, but it does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @packages/adk/README.md:
- Around line 3-8: Update the README’s opening description and the top-level
“Download needed” description to clarify that no model file needs to be bundled
with the app, while AICore may download and initialize Gemini Nano at runtime
through prepareNano().

Review comments at @packages/apple-llm/README.md:
- Around line 71-73: Update the long-chat recommendation in the Apple LLM README
so it does not present @react-native-ai/utils as installable from npm; add a
clear unreleased-package warning and source usage instructions, or remove the
recommendation until the package is published.
- Around line 60-62: Update the README example around the transcribe call so
audioBuffer is defined before use, either by adding an audio-loading step or
clearly marking it as a placeholder readers must provide.
- Line 42: Update the “no native setup” statement in the README to clarify that
autolinking covers standard setup, but calling transcribeLive requires
microphone permission; document the required NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
Info.plist entry and explain that users must provide its value.
- Around line 3-5: Update the README introduction and top-level “Download
needed” description to clarify that the package requires no app-bundled model
files, but the operating system may download Apple Intelligence or transcription
assets at runtime.

Review comments at @packages/core-ai/README.md:
- Around line 6-8: Update the Vercel AI SDK support claim in the README
introduction to replace “the other AI SDK functions” with “the supported AI SDK
functions,” without implying support for reranking or speech generation.

Review comments at @packages/llama/README.md:
- Line 71: Update the GGUF compatibility wording in the README and top-level
provider table to say “Any llama.cpp-compatible GGUF model.” Preserve the
existing task-specific caveats and avoid implying that every GGUF file from
Hugging Face is loadable.
- Around line 3-8: Qualify the README overview so it does not imply every model
supports every task; in the feature table, specify that `generateSpeech`
requires TTS-compatible model assets and that `llama.speechModel()` needs both a
model path and `vocoderPath`.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Line 158: Update the root setup instructions around the
@react-native-ai/dev-tools install command to also include the required
@ai-sdk/otel dependency and registerTelemetry setup step, or link directly to
the package README’s setup instructions.
- Around line 177-179: Update the AI SDK compatibility table in the README so
React Native AI versions 0.12 and above map to v7, matching both provider
READMEs; keep the existing mapping for 0.11 and below.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Include ai in the Llama installation command.

The example imports generateText from ai, but this command does not install ai. A user following the setup in a fresh app cannot resolve that import. Add ai, matching the package README installation command. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Define qwen3ModelDirectory in the Core AI example.
