Baidu to Provide AI Capabilities for China Models of iPhone 16 Series This Year
According to the "Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily", Baidu will provide AI technology support for Apple's upcoming iPhone 16, Mac system, and iOS 18. Previously, Apple had conducted in-depth discussions with Alibaba and another leading domestic large-scale model company, and ultimately reached a cooperation agreement with Baidu. It is reported that Apple will be charged through API interfaces.
In this collaboration, Apple chose to adopt domestic large-scale model AI functionality in order to meet compliance requirements. For domestic iPhone devices, Apple still faces challenges in terms of compliance in the short term, so it has decided to use domestic technology to avoid potential risks. However, the AI functionality of foreign versions of iPhone devices will continue to rely on Apple's own large-scale model technology.
This collaboration undoubtedly promotes further development of Baidu in the field of AI and also reflects Apple's high regard for compliance and technological diversity. In the future, the cooperation between the two parties will continue to deepen, bringing users a more intelligent and convenient experience.
