TechCrunch AI 1 day ago

Apple's generative AI service has received regulatory approval to launch in China through a partnership integrating Alibaba's Qwen AI model into iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. Apple's Greater China sales reached $20.5 billion in the second quarter, representing 28% growth year-over-year. The deal enables Apple Intelligence features, which debuted in 2024 globally, to finally become available to Chinese users after previous negotiations with Baidu, DeepSeek, and ByteDance fell through.

Apple in talks with startup that shrinks AI models to run on an iPhone

TLDR 1 day ago

Apple is in talks with PrismML, a startup that compresses artificial intelligence models to run on smartphones, after the company publicly released a version of Alibaba's Qwen model optimized for iPhones. PrismML reduced the Qwen model from 54 GB to under 4 GB, enabling it to run on iPhone 15 and newer devices with all 27 billion parameters intact. Running larger AI models directly on iPhones would reduce latency, lower cloud costs, improve privacy, and enable features to work without internet connectivity.
