According to Tencent, the Hunyuan model is capable of communicating in both Chinese and English, and even outperforms OpenAI's ChatGPT in some areas, such as writing thousands of words of text.
On September 7, Chinese technology group Tencent Holdings launched a language artificial intelligence (AI) model called Hunyuan with the priority of becoming a powerful support tool for businesses.
The owner of the social media platform WeChat gave a live demonstration of Hunyuan to a large audience at a conference in the city of Shenzhen. According to Tencent, Hunyuan now has more than 100 billion parameters and has been trained with more than 2 trillion tokens (two metrics often used to measure the strength of AI models).
For comparison, the most prominent language processing AI model developed by OpenAI (USA) was announced to contain 175 billion parameters in 2020, while Meta's Llama 2 was announced to contain 70 billion parameters in 2023. Currently, Hunyuan has been applied to the platform of more than 50 products and services in Tencent's service ecosystem.
According to Tencent, the Hunyuan model is capable of communicating in both Chinese and English, and is even better than OpenAI's ChatGPT in some areas, such as writing thousands of words of text and solving certain mathematical problems.
Tencent also said Hunyuan was 30% less likely to suffer from “hallucinations” than Meta’s Llama 2, a phenomenon AI experts describe as when AI models generate inaccurate information but present it as reality.
Tencent's new move comes as Chinese tech companies race to develop language AI models for the public. A few days ago, Chinese tech giant Baidu also officially launched the ERNIE application to compete with ChatGPT.
The rapid success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT has sparked an international race to develop competing applications. But those applications have also raised widespread alarm about the potential for abuse and misinformation in AI tools.
The Chinese government in August introduced new regulations for AI developers that will allow them to continue competing with rivals like Microsoft and OpenAI while keeping a tight rein on online information.
