Tencent launches Hy Image 3.5 Preview, says it matches Seedream 5.0 Pro
The comparison with ByteDance's image model comes from Tencent's internal testing, according to a Bloomberg report relayed on Tuesday.
Tencent has launched Hy Image 3.5 Preview, an image model, according to a Bloomberg report that the aggregator Techmeme relayed on Tuesday. Tencent said that in internal testing the model reached results on par with ByteDance's Seedream 5.0 Pro.
The comparison is Tencent's own, drawn from tests the company ran and selected. No independent benchmark of Hy Image 3.5 Preview against Seedream 5.0 Pro has been published, and ByteDance has not responded to the claim in the material available.
The relayed report does not give a release date, a price, or the regions where the model is available. It does not say whether Tencent has released weights, or whether the preview is open to developers outside China.
The story rests on one outlet. Bloomberg has it, and no second newsroom has carried the launch in the material gathered so far. The preview label suggests the model may still change before a wider release.
