Tencent expands AI computing capacity after Hy3 demand surge
Tencent Holdings Ltd. rapidly expanded its computing capacity after a surge in demand for its newly launched artificial intelligence model, Hy3, temporarily overloaded its systems. The surge followed Tencent’s integration of the official version of the large language model into WorkBuddy, its proprietary intelligent work assistant. Released July 6, Hy3, also known as Hunyuan 3, replaces a preview version and is the first major product milestone since Yao Shunyu took charge of Tencent’s large language model development as chief AI scientist at the company’s CEO and president’s office. The model emphasizes stronger AI-agent capabilities and has achieved a claimed 90% success rate on agent tasks across Tencent platforms including WorkBuddy, desktop-operation agent Marvis and knowledge-base product ima.
