Apple Intelligence integrates Alibaba's Qwen AI model in Chinese version of macOS

Updated documentation on Apple's support website confirms integration of the Qwen extension (Alibaba's AI model) with Apple Intelligence for Chinese users on macOS 26.6 or higher. The extension offers writing functionalities and Siri integration, enabling tasks such as content generation and text summarization. Access to the extension requires the user to be in mainland China with an Apple account associated with the region, and requires Qwen account login or creation. This development marks the expansion of Apple's Intelligence system in the Chinese market through partnerships with local AI providers.
