Apple partners with Alibaba in AI as Chinese rivals embrace DeepSeek
Feb 13, 2025
In China, big smartphone companies are using super-smart technology called AI. AI stands for artificial intelligence. This technology helps smartphones think and do cool tricks!
DeepSeek is a special AI model that many phone brands are using. Brands like Huawei, Vivo, and Oppo are excited about it! They want their phones to be the best. Huawei has a smart helper named Xiaoyi, and it now uses DeepSeek to work even better. Oppo is making a new foldable phone called Find N5, and it’s also using DeepSeek. Vivo, the biggest smartphone company in China, is making its assistant app smarter, too.
Apple, a well-known brand, wants to be part of this exciting race! They have partnered with Alibaba, a big Chinese company. Together, they will create Apple Intelligence for phones in China. This is like having a special AI helper for Apple phones!
However, Apple had to find a partner because only AI models approved by the Chinese government can be used in their phones. This took them a long time, but now they are ready!
DeepSeek is making things exciting again in the smartphone market after a tough time. More people are starting to buy phones again. Research shows phone shipments increased by 4 percent in 2024, reaching 285 million units!
Xiaomi is another brand that is still thinking about using DeepSeek, but they are working with another company called Google for their AI technology.
In this bustling world of smartphones, everyone is trying to have the smartest and coolest phones. With amazing AI like DeepSeek and Apple Intelligence, phones will become even more fun to use. The future looks bright for our favorite gadgets!
