Apple has reportedly trained its own AI model specifically for the Chinese market with technological support from Alibaba. This marks a strategic shift from its previous reliance on domestic third-party models.
Driven by China's regulatory environment and competitive pressures, this proprietary model will give Apple more control while complying with local requirements. Expected to launch in the coming months, it could make Apple the first foreign company approved to offer its own AI model in China.
