Chinese technology corporation Tencent unveiled its \u201cHunyuan\u201d artificial intelligence (AI) system, a multimodal large language model (LLM) similar to OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT, at the Global Digital Ecosystem Summit in Shenzhen on Sept. 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hunyuan marks Tencent\u2019s entry into \u201cfoundational models,\u201d so named for their development as a framework upon which associated AI APIs can run. <\/p>\n
According to a blog post from Tencent, Hunyuan is intended to function as a comprehensive suite of AI tools:<\/p>\n
\u201cTencent\u2019s foundation model supports a wide array of functions spanning the creation of images, copywriting, text recognition, and customer service, to name a few. These will be instrumental in key industries like finance, public services, social media, e-commerce, transportation, games, and many more.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The AI system has also been integrated into Tencent\u2019s ecosystem of applications and services with connectivity to Tencent Cloud, Tencent Marketing Solutions, Tencent Games, Tencent fintech services, Tencent Meeting, Tencent Docs, Weixin Search and QQ Browser.<\/p>\n
The launch comes as relations between the United States and China remain icy after the Biden administration signed off on an export ban on certain kinds of computer chips, including hardware commonly used to develop and train AI systems, in October 2022. <\/p>\n
According to a recent report, the two administrations continue\u00a0to engage in diplomatic talks but haven\u2019t made any headway toward establishing a timeline for ending the ban. <\/p>\n
Tencent, for its part, says the launch of Hunyuan signals that it\u2019s \u201ccommitted to open collaboration in the ecosystem, with domestic businesses ultimately benefiting from the company\u2019s high-quality model services, while international businesses leverage Tencent to access the Chinese market.\u201d<\/p>\n
Currently, ChatGPT isn\u2019t available in China. Though Hunyuan isn\u2019t the first LLM launched in the Chinese market \u2014 as Cointelegraph reported, it follows scores of other models from the likes of Alibaba and Baidu \u2014 it might be the most significant. <\/p>\n

Its products have a nationwide reach, and due to the ubiquity of WeChat and its associated apps, Hunyuan has the potential to permeate the domestic market in ways that OpenAI and Microsoft might not be able to imitate with ChatGPT in the West. <\/p>\n
Hunyuan is supposedly similar in power and capability to GPT3 (OpenAI\u2019s core model, circa 2022) when it comes to raw numbers, as reported by Tencent. At 100 billion parameters and 2 trillion tokens, the LLM takes its place as one of the most powerful LLMs in the world.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s worth noting that parameter and token counts aren\u2019t necessarily indicative of the capabilities of a multimodal AI system. Hunyuan has the benefit of being trained on a massive corpus of Chinese language text. Theoretically speaking, this would give it an advantage over models trained primarily on non-Chinese texts when it comes to operations in the Chinese language environment.<\/p>\n
