Related news claimsApple may negotiate with Tencent and TikTok's parent company ByteDance on artificial intelligence model cooperation, and is expected to integrate it into the "Apple Intelligence" service as the basis for artificial intelligence application functions provided to the Chinese market.
Prior to this, relevant news also pointed out that Apple has already cooperated with Baidu, Alibaba, Baichuan Intelligence, etc.Businesses in ChinaThe company is negotiating cooperation, similar to the cooperation model with OpenAI in the US market, to enable the "Apple Intelligence" service to use more third-party artificial intelligence models to correspond to different artificial intelligence application functions.
However, similar to previous reports, most sources claim that Apple and these Chinese companies are only in the very early stages of discussion and have not yet confirmed the specific details of the cooperation. Naturally, Apple will not respond to the rumors.
Apple previously announced that it would add Chinese and other languages to the "Apple Intelligence" service in early 2025, but did not disclose the specific corresponding markets. Therefore, it is possible that it will only add supported languages, but there are no plans to provide the "Apple Intelligence" service in China. It will only be available in Taiwan and major Chinese-speaking regions around the world.
However, judging by Apple's data privacy policy, the scope of cooperation with more local Chinese companies may not include sharing user usage data. However, many artificial intelligence technology companies may require Apple to provide such information. In addition, China's regulations on the application of artificial intelligence technology may result in a relatively limited user experience of the "Apple Intelligence" service in the Chinese market.
