Apple is in a different kind of AGI race, one that involves outsourcing. AI scientist Pedro Domingos succinctly sums up the tech giant’s latest behaviour, on X: “Apple has reached AGI (Apple Giving up on Intelligence).”

Apple is actively seeking partnerships to enhance its generative AI capabilities. According to recent reports, the company will use Ernie 4.0, a generative model from Chinese tech giant Baidu, to power its iPhone 16 and iOS 18. The report added that Apple initially contacted Alibaba but ultimately selected Baidu. As a result, Baidu’s stocks climbed 6% in Hong Kong.

Apple is interested in using Baidu’s model because generative AI models require government approval before widespread use in China. In the first six months since authorities began the approval process, over 40 AI models, including Baidu’s Ernie bot, have been approved for public use in China.

However, this is not the first time that Apple has sought partnerships. Previously, it held discussions with OpenAI and Google for GPT-4 and Gemini, respectively.
