Tencent Holdings has released Hy4, an open-weight AI model with visual understanding. Tencent says it can handle desktop tasks across command-line and graphical interfaces, expanding its scope for AI agents.
Tencent Holdings says its Hy4 foundation model performs comparably to the latest models from Moonshot AI and DeepSeek in coding, agent and browser-use tests. Bloomberg has not independently verified those results, and the model still trails leading proprietary systems.
Visual understanding is a first for Tencent’s model line. The release comes as Tencent shifts its focus towards enterprise AI agents, while its AI office tool WorkBuddy reached 32 million monthly active users in September.
For companies building desktop agents, Hy4 adds an open-weight option designed to work across visual interfaces and command-line tools. Tencent also plans a faster, more cost-efficient Flash version, but that version has not yet launched.
The open-weight Hy4 release adds Tencent’s first visual-understanding capability, broadening the desktop workflows developers can target with its models.
Tencent’s enterprise-agent focus makes Hy4 worth evaluating for business desktop workflows.
Bloomberg has not independently verified Tencent’s benchmark results, so builders should test Hy4 on their own tasks.
