Tencent Releases Hy4, New Open-Source AI Model for Coding and Research Tasks
Tencent has released a preview of Hy4, a new open-source AI model designed for coding, research, financial analysis, and office tasks. The model features a mixture-of-experts design with 770 billion parameters, activating about 49 billion per request. Tencent claims Hy4 outperformed rival Chinese models Z.ai's GLM-5.3 and Moonshot's Kimi K3 in internal tests. The company plans to integrate Hy4 into its products like CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy, while acknowledging the model may sometimes over-verify answers or take longer on complex queries.
