Apple’s new AI split means your iOS app could behave differently in China

The New Stack 2 months ago 34 ● 2 sources

Apple is splitting its AI stack so iOS users in China will rely on a China-only model built with Alibaba rather than the same setup used elsewhere. Reuters reports the China service is expected to arrive within the next few months. As a result, iOS app behavior in China may differ even with the same iOS and Apple framework version, forcing developers to add China-specific evaluations for prompts, outputs, and possible refusals or failures.
