Apple Intelligence has been formally integrated with Alibaba's Qwen model on macOS, according to Apple's Chinese website on Saturday, enabling voice assistant and text-generation functions and marking a significant step forward in the rollout of Apple's AI services in the Chinese market.
Users need to configure the feature in system settings and log in to a Qwen account before it can be used, the website shows. Once set up, they can generate text through Writing Tools and use Siri to obtain answers from Qwen.
Users control when Qwen is used and are asked before any information is shared, according to the website. They can also choose to let Siri send requests to Qwen automatically without asking. Alibaba cannot use these requests to improve or train its models, the website says.
On July 15, China's cyberspace regulator published its latest registration list for generative AI services, under which seven on-device generative AI services for mobile phones, including "Apple Intelligence," completed registration. The filing lists Apple Technology Development (Shanghai) Co as the registrant for "Apple Intelligence," according to the official WeChat account of Cyberspace Administration of China.
Alibaba's Qwen model would be integrated into Apple Intelligence across Apple's iPhone (iOS), iPad (iPadOS), Mac (macOS) and Vision Pro (visionOS) operating systems in China, Reuters reported in July.
As of press time, the Global Times found no corresponding information on Apple's web pages for iOS, iPadOS and visionOS devices such as the iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro indicating that Apple Intelligence there supports Qwen.
Alibaba is not Apple's only AI partner in China, however.
Apple will also work with Baidu, with the two sides focusing on developing AI search capabilities, the National Business Daily reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. Those capabilities form part of the Apple Intelligence feature set and, beyond supporting image and text processing, will be used to upgrade the Chinese version of Siri.
Apple reported revenue of $109.4 billion for its fiscal third quarter which ended June 27, up by 16 percent. Revenue in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao rose by 22 percent to reach $18.816 billion. CEO Tim Cook told CNBC that the iPhone set a June-quarter record in the Greater China region and the Mac its best quarter ever there.

B | Colombo, Oct 17 (UNI) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has expressed deep concern over the current situation in Sri Lanka and said it hopes it will be able to work fast to end the suffering, specially of the country’s poor and vulnerable.
Addressing queries put forward by the media, including that of Mirror Business at a press briefing, the IMF reiterated that although the staff-level agreement on a four-year EFF programme was reached, the initial disbursement of the programme will only come after the board meeting.
IMF Deputy Director (Asia and the Pacific) Anne-Marie Gulde-Wolf said the disbursement of IMF financing was “preconditioned on the authorities taking certain prior actions on which they are already working. And importantly, on reaching a solution on the debt situation so far”, the Daily Mirror reported on Monday.
As the island nation’s debt was assessed as unsustainable at this stage, the IMF official shared that for the IMF executive board to approve it will need two specific financing assurances.
The first would be from official bilateral creditors, where the fund requires assurances that debt sustainability will be restored. The second assurance is to establish there are “good faith” efforts underway to deal with private sector debt.
Sri Lanka is currently working with its legal and financial advisors on this debt element, the Mirror said.
With regard to the timeline, Gulde-Wolf said it was difficult to be specific in this regard since the process of debt negotiations usually takes time.
IMF’s experience from its member nations in this regard was that the timeline differs depending on who the creditors were and what is involved.
“We certainly are supporting the process as much as we can. And we hope that everybody can work expeditiously to get a process underway, and discussions have been starting, including with the support of all bilateral creditors that are involved,” the report quoted her as saying.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that Sri Lanka is and will remain a middle-income country even after a decline in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The Fund is currently working closely with the World Bank (WB) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on programmes for Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is expecting to raise up to US$ 2.0 billion worth of bilateral loans collectively from the ADB), the World Bank and other multilateral lenders as bridge financing after country secured programme support from the Fund, according to President and Finance Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.
