Xcode predictive code completion model never finishes downloading

I'm on a hotspot cause I'm traveling and tried like 50 times to download the predictive code completion model, but every time I've had errors saying: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDELanguageModelKit.IDEModelDownloadAdapter. While it's reportedly downloading the model and that the error doesn't appear yet, the IDELanguageModelKit folder doesn't move a single bit and has stayed at 36 bytes since yesterday. The hotspot is not the quickest but sufficient (5 mb/s) yet I still get the error every time I download the model. I think this would be good if Apple at least added a progress bar to see how much has been downloaded, no clue why they didn't already.

Predictive code completion requires a Mac with Apple silicon, running macOS 15. Did you install MacOS 15 ?

AFAIK, the model is 2.5 GB.

so over a 5 mbps (bits, not Bytes), that require at least 1 hour at full speed, so practically probably 2 or 3 hours, if it can complete.

But yes, a progress bar should be a good thing.

@Claude31 You're right that it requires macOS Sequoia and an Apple Silicon Mac. If I didn't have one, I wouldn't have had the option to download the model. The model is around 2,2 gb. The issue is that with 5 mb/s, I can't get past 20 minutes of download until I get the error in the screenshot,. I hope a DTS Apple engineer will see this and give us some insight on whether it's because I'm on a hotspot, and if they'll implement a progress bar in future betas 👍

Did you see this, suggesting to temporarily disable optimized battery charging on iPhone.: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756731

Hope that can help.
