Apple is training a China-focused large language model with support from Alibaba for use in its iOS AI features in China
Deployment Provisional 74% confidence first seen
Apple is reportedly training a China-specific large language model with help from Alibaba, with the intent to power iOS AI services in China using a separate model from other regions. The change is expected to arrive within the next few months and may cause iOS app behavior in China to differ from that in other markets, requiring developers to test prompts and outputs for China-specific model behavior.
