Tencent releases Hy4 — vision-capable model that can operate software
Tencent has released Hy4, a new foundation model with image understanding and the ability to control software (agents); the model is available through Tencent Cloud, OpenRouter, and Tencent apps while the model weights will be published at an unspecified later date. Tencent says Hy4 is optimized for coding, finance and office work and ranks among the strongest open-weight models, though independent evaluations show mixed results versus Chinese rivals and larger commercial models on hard coding and math tasks.
