Apple has trained a large language model tailored for the China market, according to Reuters, which cited three people familiar with the matter. The reported move marks a shift from Apple’s earlier approach in China, where it had mainly relied on third-party models to support AI features. The sources said the model was developed in partnership with Alibaba and trained with the Chinese company’s support. Reuters said the development had not been reported previously. Earlier, Apple had leaned toward using models supplied by domestic partners to bring generative AI features to iPhones and other devices sold in China. Apple and Alibaba did not respond to media requests for comment, according to the report. The sources also said Apple Intelligence, Apple’s AI tools suite, is expected to launch in China in the coming months after an iOS operating system update.
