Tencent is a Chinese multinational technology conglomerate headquartered in Shenzhen, and one of the world's highest-grossing multimedia companies by revenue. Best known for its sprawling presence in social platforms, digital services, and as the largest player in the global video game industry by equity investment, Tencent also operates a growing AI research effort spanning language and multimodal systems.

On Venice, Tencent's catalog is focused and early-stage, anchored by a single text model: Hy3 Preview, released in 2026. As a preview release, it represents an initial look at Tencent's large language modeling work rather than a finalized flagship, giving users access to the company's generative text capabilities.

With deep resources and one of the largest technology footprints in Asia, Tencent brings substantial backing to its AI ambitions. Hy3 Preview marks an entry point into that lineup on Venice, and signals room for the catalog to expand as the company develops its model family further.
