The Verge
Apple has partnered with Alibaba to train a custom AI model for the Chinese market, marking a strategic shift for the company.

Summary

Apple has reportedly trained a custom large language model specifically for the Chinese market with the assistance of domestic tech giant Alibaba. This initiative represents a departure from Apple's previous strategy of relying on existing domestic Chinese models and aims to give the company greater product control in a competitive market. As Apple prepares to launch Apple Intelligence in China following recent regulatory approval, this proprietary model could make it the first US company approved to offer its own AI service in the country amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
