Apple has finally brought the entire AI full stack into its own hands, from hardware chips to the cloud, all self-developed. This is true closed-loop integration.

Apple announced at WWDC2026 that Apple Intelligence comes from its self-developed AFM series (AFM Core, Core Advanced Cloud, Cloud Image, AFM Cloud Pro). Cloud Pro can rival Gemini, but it is fully self-developed. The model runs on NVIDIA GPUs on Google Cloud, and the private cloud has been expanded to third-party clouds, using NVIDIA confidential computing to protect data. The system coordinator dynamically allocates computing power, routing tasks to the cloud when the edge side is insufficient.
