According to the Information on Tuesday, Apple tested the highly anticipated DeepSeek AI model but ultimately decided not to move forward with it. Instead, the company has opted to partner with Alibaba to develop AI features for iPhone users in China. Since 2023, Apple has tested various AI models from Chinese developers, initially selecting Baidu as its main partner. However, delays in Baidu’s development created challenges for the collaboration. Sources say Apple also explored options with Tencent, ByteDance, and DeepSeek but ultimately abandoned DeepSeek due to its lack of experience and resources to support major clients like Apple.
