nordicinst · x · 2026-11-01
According to China Daily, Apple AI powered by Alibaba's Qwen models is set to launch in China in December.
Apple has been unable to roll out Apple Intelligence in China due to regulatory requirements, and partnering with Alibaba to use a local model is its chosen path into the market. If the timeline holds, it marks a key milestone for Apple's AI ecosystem in China.
