Apple's localization of AI in the Chinese market has taken a step further, as the latest update on its website shows Apple's smart assistant working with Alibaba's Tmall Genie.

According to TrendForce's Monitor, the Apple website shows that Apple's AI can now work with Alibaba's Qianniu model. "If you choose to allow Apple's AI to work with Alibaba's Qianniu, you can perform the following operations: Get more answers from Siri. For certain requests, Siri can provide deeper answers using Qianniu, such as relevant analysis of photos and documents. Compose text using writing tools. With the help of Qianniu, writing tools can create text or images based on descriptions alone."

Earlier on July 15, Apple's AI completed its first filing in China for generative AI. Alibaba's Qianniu will be integrated into Apple's AI capabilities, providing text and image understanding, content generation, and other services to Chinese users of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. Users can directly experience these services without switching between apps. In addition to Alibaba's Qianniu, Baidu's AI capabilities will also be integrated into Apple's AI, marking the official localization of Apple's AI deployment in the Chinese market.
