Tencent’s New Model Shows Improvement, Partly Thanks to Anthropic

Chinese tech giant Tencent’s latest AI model has generated positive reviews from developers. But the company probably owes some of that success to Anthropic.

Tencent employees used Anthropic’s Claude to assist them with evaluating and fine-tuning the model, known as Hy3, to improve its performance, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter and Tencent’s internal memos reviewed by The Information. That’s despite the fact that Anthropic doesn’t offer its models and services to companies in countries such as China that are considered to be U.S. adversaries.
