Apple recently posted and removed details explaining how Mac users in China could set up their computers to work with Alibaba's Qwen AI. Now, Reuters has confirmed long-held speculation that Apple has revisited its Google Gemini AI playbook and built its own proprietary AI model for China with support from Alibaba.
Apple worked with a Chinese partner because US models such as ChatGPT or Claude are not being made available there, though Chinese AI development doesn't seem to be held back by that lack. Apple and Alibaba have not commented on the claims, the report said.
The approach echoes Apple's work with Google to build more advanced large language models (LLMs) for use with Apple Intelligence, and the news will likely be seen as broadly positive by Chinese iPhone users. They can now look forward to working with Apple Intelligence on their devices. The proximity of the reporting suggests they may be able to access Apple's AI quite soon, once new Apple operating systems ship next month.

And by "you," I mean Adam, Mark, and Will, not me. Because I'm too far away from Arizona to see Intel's massive industrial fabrication center. And I'm not jealous at all, not even a little bit.
Sadly, because it's 1) a clean facility that's ten times as strict as an average surgical theater in terms of cleanliness and 2) stuffed floor-to-very-high-ceiling with proprietary technology and industrial secrets, the PCWorld team didn't get to take photos or video of the brand new Fab 52-18A facility, which is gearing up to produce Intel's next-generation Panther Lake chips for 2026.
The team did get to take notes and had a nice long chat in the Arizona sunshine about their experiences. For a deep dive on what has to be one of the most complex facilities on the planet, check out the full conversati
