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.

。报道提到，以色列国防军日前对叙利亚一处军用机场发动空袭。希巴尼在接受采访时称，叙利亚的首要任务是制止以色列发动袭击，需要在这方面采取建立信任的举措。路透社称，美国方面一年多来一直试图促成以色列与叙利亚过渡政府达成一项安全协议，但以色列以国家安全受到威胁为由，向叙利亚境内派遣军队并袭击政府设施，该协议未能达成。希巴尼表示，自伊以冲突爆发以来，有关安全协议的谈判一直处于停滞状态，但他预计谈判将重启。希巴尼还提到，在叙军用机场日前遭以色列袭击后，两国之间的联系已中断。“我们认为应该进行接触，尤其是与一个不断威胁叙利亚安全的国家。但如果这种接触无法取得结果，那我们就不需要它。”他补充说，“我们目前不信任以色列。”路透社称，以色列总理办公室暂未就上述消息作出回应。近期，以色列已多次袭击叙利亚。

B | 以色列国防部长卡茨8月22日发表声明说，以色列国防军18日对叙利亚西北部伊德利卜省的阿布祖胡尔军用机场发动空袭系因以方获得“明确情报”，显示土耳其有意在该地采取“可能危及以色列安全的行动”。以色列总理办公室也曾指责叙利亚允许土耳其在叙部署军队对以色列构成威胁。叙利亚过渡政府外交部18日发表声明，强烈谴责以军空袭叙空军基地，称这是“毫无正当理由的侵略行径”。土耳其政府19日说，以方指控是“无稽之谈”。土耳其外交部呼吁“国际社会采取更加坚决的立场，制止以色列不断升级的侵略行为，并确保追究以方违反国际法行为的责任”。
