苹果通过阿里巴巴的通义千问进军中国，弃用美国模型
苹果通过集成阿里巴巴的通义千问模型，获得了中国监管机构对 apple intelligence 的批准，取代了基于美国的 ai 服务。这标志着 apple intelligence 首次重大本地化，以符合严格的数据和主权要求。
apple secured chinese regulatory approval for its generative ai suite, apple intelligence, by integrating alibaba's qwen models to power text and image features across its operating systems. previously, apple explored partnerships with baidu and bytedance but faced technical hurdles, leading to the alibaba selection to ensure compliance with the cyberspace administration of china. the deal allows apple to roll out ai features to its recovered no. 2 smartphone market base, which generated $20.5b in q2 revenue, while bypassing restrictions on foreign ai models. this move highlights the necessity for global ai labs to partner with local chinese tech giants to operate in the region, setting a precedent for other western ai firms.
