this all is because of Tim Cook’s visit to China. no guaranteed plans yet (at least mentioned) but i wonder what the implications of this are. Apple potentially teaming up with a Chinese-made AI? 
this could mean that the U.S and its private companies are starting to fear Chinese companies in the field of AI
who wouldn’t be LOL especially since the US has historically been xenophobic to the Chinese
Apple CEO Tim Cook’s recent commendation of DeepSeek’s AI models as “excellent” during his China visit underscores the growing recognition of Chinese advancements in artificial intelligence. This acknowledgment not only highlights DeepSeek’s innovative contributions but also reflects the increasing global influence of China’s tech industry. As AI continues to evolve, such cross-border appreciations may pave the way for more international collaborations, fostering a more integrated and innovative technological landscape.
