Domestic Apple smart access Qianwen large model Siri has never been more powerful

Kuai Technology reported on August 8 that Apple officially updated the Mac user manual to clarify that the domestic version of Apple Smart can be connected to the Alibaba Qianwen large model. Mac devices equipped with macOS26.6 and above can unlock new AI capabilities after opening the corresponding permissions. The upper limit of Siri's functions is an epic evolution compared to the past. After enabling authorization, Siri will usher in the most intuitive upgrade. For certain requests, Siri can use Qianwen to provide more in-depth answers. For example. Relevant analysis of photos and manuscripts. Additionally, with Qianwen, the writing tool allows you to create text or images based solely on descriptions. In the past, the AI ​​functions of domestic Apple devices have always had shortcomings, and Siri's intelligence is far lower than that of domestic terminal voice assistants. This time Apple chose to cooperate with Alibaba Qianwen to make up for the two core shortcomings of image and text understanding and AI generation, and use mature Chinese large model services. Many users are looking forward to it after reading the official description. After this update is implemented, daily office work, graphic creation, and daily life questions and answers can all be completed by native AI without having to switch back and forth between various third-party software. This set of Qianwen extension functions has clear usage thresholds and is only open to three categories of mainland users. The first one is in mainland China, and the Apple account region is set to mainland China; the second one is in mainland China, and the device is not logged into any Apple account; the third type of Mac itself is a National Bank model purchased in offline stores or online channels in mainland China. Even if the overseas version of Mac updates the system, it cannot use Qianwen's supporting functions.
