Apple says Mac users in China can connect to Alibaba’s Qwen AI service
BEIJING: Apple has published a guide explaining how eligible Mac users in mainland China can connect Alibaba’s Qwen artificial-intelligence service to the U.S. tech giant’s Siri digital assistant and Writing Tools feature.
The Mac-specific arrangement could help Apple compete in China’s AI PC market, where it has been losing market share as domestic manufacturers such as Lenovo have promoted locally developed AI features.
Qwen is Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba’s family of generative-AI models, which can create text and images and analyse documents, photos and other material in response to user prompts.
