Hunyuan

Hunyuan is a large language model developed by Tencent, positioned among the wave of Chinese tech giants rushing to release foundation models in 2023. As 暗涌Waves reported in April 2023, Tencent was accelerating work on "Hunyuan" following Baidu's launch of Wenxin Yiyan, with Alibaba, Huawei, and ByteDance also preparing their own entrants to compete with ChatGPT-4 . By late 2023, Tencent had released a Mixture-of-Experts version: a roughly 300-billion-parameter MoE model, which 真格基金 noted in February 2025 as part of the broader exploration of sparse architectures alongside models like Mistral's 8×7B and 8×22B variants . In the video generation space, a 真格基金 January 2025 commentary grouped Hunyuan with Kling and Google's Veo 2 as products that had already surpassed Sora's initial demo quality by late 2024—available and free, where a year earlier such capabilities had seemed remarkable .
