苹果私有云计算对第三方开发者有严格限制Apple’s Private Cloud Compute Is Severely Limited for Third-Party Developers
苹果宣布其私有云计算（PCC）平台上的基础模型将对符合条件的小型开发者免费开放，不收取任何云端 API 费用。然而，该政策有着严格的限制：仅限 App Store 小型企业计划中首次下载量少于 200 万次的开发者可用。尽管 PCC 承诺提供具有顶级隐私保护的前沿 AI 算力，但其较高的使用门槛表明苹果并未打算将其作为广泛的第三方云端算力平台。这一策略反映出苹果在 AI 算力分配上优先扶持小型应用，同时限制大规模 API 调用的意图。

Accessing Private Cloud Compute
To ensure getting started with a large cloud model is as accessible as possible, developers in the App Store Small Business Program with fewer than two million first time App Store downloads will be able to use Apple Foundation Models running on Private Cloud Compute (PCC) with no cloud API cost. The model provides access to frontier level intelligence with unparalleled privacy protections. This makes it easy for small developers to get started building intelligent app experiences without upfront infrastructure costs.
Eligibility requirements
Access to PCC is available to developers who meet the following criteria:
Where Apple Intelligence is available, eligible developers can use PCC in their apps distributed on the App Store, and test PCC features via TestFlight or ad hoc distribution. Installs during testing are not counted as first-time app downloads.
If any app subsequently exceeds the 2 million first-time downloads threshold, or the developer is no longer enrolled in the App Store Small Business Program, the developer will be notified and must migrate to an alternative solution within 6 months. Information about first-time downloads is available in Analytics in App Store Connect.
