Apple to launch Apple Intelligence in China using Alibaba and Baidu AI models

Apple says it will launch Apple Intelligence in China using AI models from Alibaba and Baidu. The poster highlights the irony: while the US restricts China's access to advanced AI chips, American companies increasingly need Chinese AI innovation to stay competitive.
The author notes his own experience: AirPods translation features bought on China release day didn't work because Apple Intelligence was blocked there. He suggests US products could end up with superior AI experiences in China, especially for language tasks where Chinese AI excels.
