Apple Enables Chinese Mac Users to Access Alibaba's Qwen AI via Siri and Writing Tools
Apple has introduced a guide enabling Mac users in mainland China to connect Alibaba's Qwen AI service with Siri and Writing Tools, enhancing AI-driven text, image creation, and document analysis. This integration, available on macOS 13.6 or later, requires user activation and a Qwen account, with data usage restrictions to protect user content. The move aims to strengthen Apple's position in China's AI PC market, where domestic brands like Lenovo and Huawei lead with their own AI features amid declining Mac shipments.
