China’s Tencent releases new open-source AI model for coding, research tasks
China's Tencent has unveiled a preview of a new open-source AI model named Hy4 preview, designed for tasks like software engineering, research and financial analysis, according to a Friday announcement on Hugging Face. This model employs a mixture-of-experts design with a total of 770 billion parameters, though only around 49 billion are utilized for each text request.
Tencent plans to integrate Hy4 preview with its existing products, including CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy. The company notes that the early-release model may occasionally take longer than expected to process intricate queries and may over-verify its own responses. This release comes as Tencent intensifies its AI investment in a competitive market, recently launching Hunyuan 3.0 in April, marking its first major model since hiring former OpenAI researcher Yao Shunyu to spearhead its AI platform development.
