Chinese video gaming and social media giant Tencent Holdings launched an upgraded version of its large language model (LLM) with text-to-image generation that is open source for enterprises and individuals.

The eight-month-old Hunyuan large language foundation model developed by Tencent underwent a major upgrade earlier this year, which enhanced its overall performance by 20 per cent compared with the previous version, according to a statement posted on Tuesday on the official WeChat account of Tencent Cloud, the company’s cloud-computing services arm.
