Baidu to power AI search for Apple's Apple Intelligence in China

Apple is reportedly teaming with Baidu on an AI-powered search feature for Apple Intelligence in China.

Alibaba’s Qwen model is said to supply core AI capabilities, helping tailor the service for local rules and needs.

The feature could arrive with the next iOS release, alongside localized Siri improvements for iPhone users.

The partnership would give Apple a compliant AI offering in a market where global services face major constraints.
