Context
Tencent's 40% claim for Hy3 preview concerns efficiency, the computing work involved in running the model. Its launch explanation attributes the improvement to joint changes in the model architecture and the software that executes it.
The announcement does not specify the comparison workload or baseline for that percentage. It lists API prices separately, so the efficiency claim does not establish a 40% reduction in customers' bills. The supported point is that Tencent reports improving the model and its execution software together.
- inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
- open weights — A model whose trained parameters are published for anyone to download and run — unlike API-only models you can access but never possess.
- context window — The maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.
- AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
