Multiple iPhone models completed China regulatory filing renewal on 2026-09-29, adding on-device LLM filing numbers for Apple Intelligence, Tongyi Wanxiang and Tongyi Qianwen. Apple Intelligence completed its CAC filing for on-device generative AI services on 2026-07-08. Alibaba's Qwen will be integrated into Apple Intelligence for users in China.

What it means for you

  • On-device LLMs offered in China must complete CAC filing before launch; devices without updated filings (e.g. iPhone 15/15 Plus) do not carry the AI features
  • Foreign AI entering China lands via a filed domestic model and entity (e.g. Alibaba Qwen)
  • Filing information is publicly listed, letting users identify which devices support AI features
  • What to do

    ComplianceVerify that models used for AI features in the China market have completed CAC filing before product launch
    LegalWhen landing in China via a partner model, confirm the partner's filing status and record it accurately in filings
    EveryoneTrack CAC's published on-device generative AI filing announcements and assess whether your products fall in scope
