Tencent has released its new AI model, Hunyuan Turbo S, which promises to answer queries faster than the popular DeepSeek-R1. This advancement underscores the increasing pressure on China's tech giants to keep up with rapidly evolving AI technology and the successes of smaller startups.

Tencent, a leading name in technology, released its latest AI model, the Hunyuan Turbo S, on Thursday. The company claims that this model processes queries faster than the globally recognized DeepSeek-R1, highlighting a fierce competition in China's tech landscape.

The innovation of Hunyuan Turbo S lies in its ability to provide answers within a second, setting it apart from models like DeepSeek R1 and Hunyuan T1, which are known for their relatively slower processing speeds.
