Apple CEO Tim Cook, who visited China for some official events, drew attention with his statements before a developer conference in Shanghai. Cook described Deepseek Artificial Intelligence model as “perfect” at the Chinese Development Forum in Beijing.
This comment came before Apple announced more details about Apple Intelligence, the new artificial intelligence platform for Chinese developers. According to South China Morning Post, Apple partnership with Alibaba to bring artificial intelligence technology to China. Currently, expert teams in China and the United States are trying to adapt the Apple Intelligence platform to the region. Apple Intelligence is planned to be available in China in May. This will take place shortly after Apple provides Chinese language support with the iOS 18.4 update.
According to Bloomberg’s reports, Alibaba will censor and filter the output of artificial intelligence in accordance with the government requirements. In addition, other artificial intelligence features such as visual intelligence and search will be managed by Baidu. Although Baidu’s connection with Apple Intelligence will not be initially, the latest information shows that the Chinese company will play a role in the launch.
Deepseek, on the other hand, will not be in the first launch of Apple Intelligence, but the technological innovations of the model draw attention. American artificial intelligence companies were shocked by a groundbreaking reasoning model of Deepseek this year. Both the production and use of the model has a significant impact on the sector because Chatgpt is much more economical than Gemini and other LLM models. These developments led to a panic between GPU manufacturers and artificial intelligence companies, and big players began to work to make their models faster and more affordable.
Is Apple and Deepseek partnership on the road?
It is not yet clear whether Apple will establish a partnership with Deepseek. However, Tim Cook’s positive comments about the new model give clues that the company can think of such a cooperation in the future.
Apple Intelligence’s integration of Google’s Gemini platform in the near future seems possible. Although some of the code pieces found in this cooperation, an official agreement has not yet been made between Apple and Google. Tim Cook’s interest in Deepseek and implying that Apple is open to work with third -party models shows an exciting period about how the artificial intelligence ecosystem is shaped.
