See how Tencent’s newest AI platform called Hunyuan Turbo S compared to top competitors, including DeepSeek-R1-Zero.

The battle for AI superiority in the US had touched its peak in 2024, and now it has spread to China, where companies are rolling out their own AI models, claiming that they are better than the other.

Chinese technology giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. today released a new artificial intelligence model named Hunyuan Turbo S, designed as a “fast-thinking model,” a rival to so-called “slow-thinking” models such as DeepSeek-R1.

Tencent claims its Hunyuan Turbo S model is able to reply to queries within a second, distinguishing itself "from DeepSeek R1, Hunyuan T1, and other slow thinking models".

Tencent Holdings Ltd. became the latest tech company to unveil or enhance an AI model intended to eclipse DeepSeek, joining a spate of rollouts since the startup’s emergence energized the US-China technology race.

BGMI maker Tencent's AI model will compete with China's DeepSeek. DeepSeek created a stir in the global industry by entering the market. The latest AI model, Hunyuan Turbo S, is designed to give instant answers.

Chinese multinational firm Tencent has launched a new AI model to compete with DeepSeek's R1 AI model. DeepSeek launching its AI model had created waves in the global tech industry and had led to a massive rout in tech stocks globally.
