Tencent releases Hy4 with vision and computer use, claims second place among Chinese AI models

Tencent's Hy4 now understands images and can control computer software autonomously.

Tencent describes Hy4 as an open-weight model, but its weights are not yet available; for now, the model can only be accessed through Tencent Cloud, OpenRouter and Tencent apps. In Artificial Analysis's assessment, Hy4 tied with Grok 4.7 and ranked second among models from Chinese labs, behind Kimi K3.1 Pro. Tencent acknowledges that Hy4 still lags far behind the best commercial models on difficult tasks such as advanced mathematics, longer coding projects and complex image analysis.
