  • This marks a departure from Apple's previous strategy of using domestic Chinese models for AI services in China.
  • The custom model will give Apple more control over its products in China.
  • Apple is preparing to release its on-device generative AI service, Apple Intelligence, in China in the coming months.
  • The company registered its AI service with China's cyberspace regulator last month.
