Clients from a variety of fields – including retail, education, finance, medicine, and media – are already leveraging the Hunyuan model, according to the company. Engineers at the company have been using Hunyuan, trained with 32 major programming languages and a plethora of technical books and blogs, to assist with day-to-day coding and debugging, according to the company.
Measuring AI progress against the capabilities of ChatGPT has become routine with new model upgrades from Chinese companies. Tencent said the latest version of Hunyuan surpassed OpenAI’s ChatGPT 3.5 in Chinese-language capabilities.
Big Tech firms are betting big on AI being a future revenue driver. Tencent unveiled an enterprise Hunyuan-based service last month. The model will be available for local enterprises to build and test apps while using the company’s cloud computing services, Tencent vice-president Jiang Jie previously said.
Tencent appears more cautious in making Hunyuan available to the public for private use. Hunyuan Assistant remains unavailable for public use despite the Hunyuan bot being included on a list of government-approved chatbots in late August.
Generative AI products are monitored closely in China because their unpredictability can sometimes result in responses considered politically sensitive.
