BEIJING, July 15 (Reuters) - China's cyberspace regulator said on Wednesday that Apple's on-device generative AI service "Apple Intelligence" has been registered for use on iPhones in the country.
Apple's intelligence services will incorporate capabilities from Baidu and Alibaba's AI models, according to a source, who declined to be named.
Apple did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Alibaba said in a statement to Reuters that Qwen will be integrated into Apple Intelligence experiences within iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS for users in China.
The official statement did not give a date when Apple Intelligence will be rolled out on iPhones sold in China.
Apple reported a 24.4% year-on-year increase in its shipments in China in the second quarter.
