Investing.com -- Tencent Holdings Ltd (HK:0700) (F:NNND). has introduced its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, the Hunyuan Turbo S, which is designed for immediate responses, setting it apart from the deep reasoning approach used by DeepSeek’s chatbot. Tencent announced this on Thursday, noting a significant reduction in the deployment cost of Turbo S.

This development by Tencent comes a month after Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Group Holding Ltd. compared its newest Qwen AI model to DeepSeek’s technology, highlighting the swift rise to industrywide prominence of the startup since the start of the year. Tencent also provided data indicating that its Hunyuan Turbo S competes well against DeepSeek’s V3 model in commonly used AI evaluations.

The introduction of the Hunyuan Turbo S positions Tencent alongside other companies that have chosen to measure their AI capabilities against DeepSeek. The company’s move to emphasize the speed of its latest AI model underscores its commitment to staying competitive in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
