Apple Develops Its Own Large Language Model for China With Alibaba Support
Apple has developed its own large language model for the Chinese market with support from Alibaba Group. The plan departs from Apple’s prior approach of relying on local partners’ models. Apple expects to launch Apple Intelligence in China after an iOS update, using Alibaba’s Qwen for Siri voice and Writing Tools. The launch was delayed by adapting features to local regulations amid tough smartphone AI competition.
