Alibaba chairman Joe Tsai hails Apple partnership, says DeepSeek will inspire AI developers
Alibaba's co-founder Joe Tsai confirmed that Alibaba has partnered with Apple to integrate its Qwen AI models into iPhones in China. This collaboration addresses Apple's need for localized AI solutions within the country, where regulatory approvals are required for AI models intended for public use.
Apple had been searching for a suitable partner for months to launch its Apple Intelligence features in mainland China, as OpenAI's GPT models, used internationally, are not officially available there. Tsai expressed Alibaba's honor in working with Apple, highlighting the selective nature of Apple's decision after considering multiple Chinese companies. He also commended recent innovations from DeepSeek, anticipating they will encourage more developers to pursue open-source solutions.
