Baidu

Apple is in partnership with Baidu to integrate its AI technology into iPhones in China. With this, Baidu’s AI services are set to be exclusively available on Apple devices in the country starting with the anticipated iOS 18 release this year. Baidu’s Ernie Bot, one of the approved large language models (LLMs) in China, has been chosen by Apple over other potential partners. As for Baidu, this is a major win for the company that positions them and their AI product at a prominent place in the Chinese market. Baidu CEO Robin Li anticipates a substantial increase in revenue from their AI technologies, largely driven by this collaboration with Apple through iPhones in China. Meanwhile, Chinese companies like Baidu, Huawei, and OPPO have already begun designing semiconductors. Chinese search engine and multinational company Baidu has just unveiled its answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT with the release of Ernie Bot. According to Baidu CEO Robin Li, Ernie Bot is still in development but was presented to the public because of high demand.
