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


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.
AI expert Peng Tianyu joins Tencent Hunyuan as Chief Research Scientist and Head of Multi-modal Reinforcement Learning Technology, responsible for building top-tier teams to tackle cutting-edge challenges in multi-modal generation and understanding. Peng Tianyu is a direct Ph.D. student from the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University, mentored by Professor Zhu Jun, with a strong academic background.
The Tencent Hunyuan team has open-sourced the Hunyuan Image 3.0 image-to-image model, which has 80 billion parameters and uses a mixture-of-experts architecture, ranking seventh in global image editing rankings. Its core breakthrough lies in the multimodal architecture of "thinking first, then editing," making it currently the strongest open-source image-to-image model in the world.
Tencent Hunyuan open-source translation model version 1.5 introduces 1.8B and 7B models, focusing on efficiency and high-quality translation with optimized cloud-device synergy. The 1.8B model is designed for mobile devices, requiring only 1GB memory for offline operation, enabling on-device deployment and excellent performance.....
