Cause (Documented platform behavior): Prediction requires the Core ML framework on macOS; the native proxy import failure is only logged as a warning at import.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Python-version wheel mismatch as cause is inferred.
Other error fragments:
- Failed to load _MLModelProxy:

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Conversion works but predict() raises Exception.
- Context
- Product: Core ML Tools (coremltools) Component: MLModel.predict Operation: Calling model.predict after conversion on Linux/Windows, in a non-macOS CI, or with a mismatched wheel Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: coremltools main at pinned SHA Trigger: libcoremlpython native extension unavailable (non-macOS platform, unsupported Python version wheel).

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [coremltools] "Unable to load CoreML.framework. Cannot make predictions." / "Failed to load _MLModelProxy" - predict() on Linux/Windows or broken native lib
Recommended action: Run predict() on macOS (10.13+/12+ for mlpackage); on Linux, convert only and validate on a Mac; ensure a wheel matching your Python version.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
