It was deleted as soon as it was online! Apple China official website deletes Apple Smart Access Alibaba Qianwen manual

Kuai Technology reported on August 9 that Apple China’s official website recently updated the Mac user manual and launched a page related to “Using Qianwen with Apple Smart on Mac”, which clearly mentioned for the first time that Apple Smart can work with Alibaba Qianwen models. According to the page introduction at the time, for some requests, Siri can call Qianwen to provide more in-depth answers; at the same time, the writing tool can also use Qianwen to create text or images based solely on user descriptions. However, this Chinese manual introducing the Qianwen extension has been deleted from Apple’s official website. The relevant page in Apple's Mac user manual has been restored to "Use ChatGPT with Apple Smart". Previously, it was "Use Qianwen with Apple Smart". It is worth noting that before the page was deleted, Apple also clearly listed the applicable conditions for the Qianwen extension, which only applies to the following three situations: the user is located in mainland China, and the country or region of the Apple account is set to mainland China; the user is located in mainland China, but has not logged in to the Apple account; the Mac was purchased in mainland China. It is understood that in July this year, "Network China" announced the latest batch of mobile-side generative artificial intelligence service registration information. The "Apple Smart" applied by Apple Technology Development (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has completed the registration. The registration completion date is July 8, 2026, and the applicable equipment is the National Bank Apple mobile phone. Previous media reports stated that Alibaba’s Qianwen large model will be integrated into the Bank of China’s Apple intelligent system as the underlying AI capability, covering iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS and other state-of-the-art devices, and provide multi-modal AI capabilities such as text understanding, image recognition, and content generation for related products. At present, Apple has not yet made a public explanation for the deletion of the user manual related to Qianwen. The final launch time and specific access plan of the National Bank Apple Smart still need to be further officially announced.
