Apple's AI service, Apple Intelligence, has received regulatory approval to be used on tablets and laptops in China, according to Shanghai's cyberspace regulator. The company must obtain permission from Chinese authorities before making such services available to the public. Apple Intelligence was previously approved for use on iPhones in July.
In August, Reuters reported that Apple had trained a specialized large language model for the Chinese market in collaboration with Alibaba. Unlike Apple's previous reliance on third-party models, this marks a notable shift in strategy for the US company. Apple's AI model is reportedly being trained in conjunction with Alibaba's support.
Alibaba stated that users in China will have direct access to text and image understanding, as well as content generation capabilities through Siri, writing tools, and visual intelligence. The features were expected to be rolled out to Chinese users in December, following a test version released in November.
