Tencent Holdings has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot app called Yuanbao in an effort to develop an application that challenges OpenAI’s ChatGPT, reports Caixin. Yuanbao is built on Tencent’s large language model (LLM) known as Hunyuan. An LLM is a deep-learning algorithm that lies behind ChatGPT and other generative AI services.
Tencent’s AI assistant allows users to perform tasks such as AI searches, document summarization, writing, image generation and the creation of personalized AI entities for language practice or creating AI avatars.
Hunyuan has been in a continuous process of enhancement for the past year and is now a trillion-parameter model, said Liu Yuhong, vice president of Tencent Cloud and head of the Hunyuan project.
