Odaily Planet Daily report: Apple’s Executive Chairman Tim Cook visited Shanghai and gave interviews to the media. When asked about Apple Intelligence, Cook stated that Apple Intelligence and the associated Qwen large model from Alibaba have indeed received approval and will launch a test version toward the end of October, featuring initial Apple Intelligence functions such as real-time translation, writing tools, and photo cleanup tools—though Siri AI is not included in this release. “But we’re delighted that the first core Apple Intelligence features are now beginning to roll out gradually,” Cook said.
According to sources, Qwen from Alibaba will be integrated into Apple Intelligence, bringing intelligent experiences to users in China on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. Users can directly access Qwen’s capabilities for text and image understanding, content generation, and more without switching between apps on their Apple devices. (Bianews)
