Tencent Upgrades Self-Developed Foundation Model Tencent Hunyuan and Deploys it to Internal Products


WorkBuddy and Tencent Hunyuan joint project announced that due to the popularity of the initial launch of the Hunyuan Hy3 large model, computing resources experienced peak congestion. Since 10:00 a.m. on July 8th, a queue phenomenon occurred. The project team has completed an emergency computing power expansion and scheduling to ensure stable service operations.
Tencent Hunyuan, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, Tianjin University, Peking University, and Fudan University, has launched the first general instruction-driven audio editing benchmark dataset, MMAE. This benchmark addresses the current limitations in AI's ability to edit audio, filling a gap in the field of audio generation and providing an important evaluation standard for multi-task audio editing research.
The Tsinghua University Storage Lab and the Tencent Hunyuan AI Infra team won the global championship in the MLSys2026 MoE Model Inference Optimization Challenge. To address the inference bottlenecks of the trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture on heterogeneous NPUs, the joint team designed a full-chain optimization solution, including the E-Shard strategy, PSUM three-dimensional tensor batch reading, and GEMV path, significantly improving performance.
Tencent Hunyuan recently open-sourced the multilingual translation model Hy-MT2 and launched the "Tencent Hy Translation" mini program. This model family includes three sizes, supporting mutual translation among 33 languages and five ethnic languages/dialects. The lightweight Hy-MT2-1.8B uses Tencent's self-developed AngelSlim 1.25-bit extreme quantization technology, optimized for mobile devices, balancing high quality with efficiency.
Tencent Hunyuan releases the ultra-small model HY-1.8B-2Bit, which reduces the equivalent parameter count to 0.3B through an industrial-level 2Bit quantization scheme, with memory usage of approximately 600MB and a size smaller than some mobile applications. This technological breakthrough solves the problem of significant precision loss in low-bit quantization, providing a new approach for efficient deployment of large models on consumer-grade hardware.
