Apple Develops China-Focused AI Model With Alibaba Support for Apple Intelligence
Apple is developing a China-focused AI model in collaboration with Alibaba to support Apple Intelligence on compatible iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Vision Pro devices sold in China. Alibaba’s Qwen model was approved last month by China’s Cyberspace Administration, with Baidu technology also expected to be used. The approach aims to help meet China’s generative AI rules while giving Apple more control over AI features.
