Why It Matters
Tencent's Hy3 AI model was officially launched last month, with its API call volume increasing significantly.
On Wednesday, the Shenzhen-based technology giant rolled out Hy3 to global developers, enterprises and users through its workplace agentic tool WorkBuddy, creation studio Tencent Design Miora and model platform TokenHub. According to Tencent, Hy3 would be available free of charge worldwide on WorkBuddy until August 31. The move to broaden international access followed the official launch of the model last month. Hy3 would enable organisations to “move beyond AI experimentation and put intelligence to work in practical, trusted and scalable ways,” said Poshu Yeung, senior vice-president of Tencent Cloud and head of the unit’s international business. The model’s application programming interface call volume had increased more than 68-fold compared with the previous generation, and it had topped the global large language model usage leaderboard on tracking site OpenRouter in the first week of its launch, according to the company.
