Tencent Holdings said on September 07 2023 companies could now use its large-language artificial intelligence (AI) model ‘Hunyuan’ as it premiered the much-awaited product amid a race by tech firms to become China's AI champion. The Chinese tech giant conducted a demonstration before a live audience at a conference in Shenzhen. Jiang Jie, Tencent's vice president, said by July, there would be more than 130 large language models in China, and a war of a hundred models had begun. Tencent, China's most valuable internet company, said Hunyuan had more than 100 billion parameters and was trained with more than 2 trillion tokens, two metrics often used to measure AI models' power. Tencent also said its model, capable of conversing in both Chinese and English, was "better" than OpenAI's ChatGPT in areas such as writing long texts with thousands of words and solving certain math problems. The model also experiences 30 percent fewer hallucinations compared to Llama 2.
