Apple Partners with Alibaba to Develop AI Features for iPhone Users
Apple’s new Apple Intelligence platform, unveiled at WWDC24, will incorporate Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5 Max model to create China‑specific AI features for iPhone users, with a custom dataset and regulatory submission, marking a shift from overseas ChatGPT reliance to a domestic partnership.
Apple announced its Apple Intelligence at WWDC24 and is seeking a partner to develop AI features for iPhone users in China.
While overseas Apple uses ChatGPT, reports indicate Apple is collaborating with Alibaba, not Baidu, ByteDance, or DeepSeek.
Alibaba recently released the Qwen 2.5 Max model, which achieved top scores in benchmarks such as Arena‑Hard, LiveBench, LiveCodeBench and GPQA‑Diamond, ranking seventh globally and first among non‑reasoning Chinese models.
The partnership aims to adapt Qwen for iPhone, with a proprietary dataset prepared for Apple’s requirements, and the joint AI features have been submitted for approval by Chinese cyber authorities.
