Beating AI News Brief: Tencent’s Hunyuan has launched a new real-time speech model named Hy Realtime, adding online search capabilities for singing and voice conversations. The model has been integrated into Yuanbao Voice Call and Tencent Customer Service. Users can use voice commands to search for the latest information, or request songs by singer, genre, language, and release year. For example, asking it to sing an English folk song released between 2010 and 2020 will prompt the model to select and perform the song based on context. The singing feature is co-developed by Hunyuan and Tencent Music (TME)’s Lingyin AI team. The new model also addresses a key pain point of speech AIs: the so-called "intelligence drop" when speaking. Knowledge and reasoning capabilities originally held by text large language models (LLMs) may be lost when adapted to speech dialogue models. Tencent redesigned its training data production process, stating that the effective retention rate of high-quality text data migrating to speech tasks has risen from 21% to 69% — roughly 3.3 times the previous level. Hy Realtime also enhances understanding of real colloquial speech. When users mumble, speak half-sentences, or change their request mid-sentence, the model can infer intent based on context. When generating responses, it simultaneously organizes text and synthesizes speech, cutting down wait times. Currently, users can experience the model by selecting the "Chuyu" voice tone in the voice call feature of the latest Yuanbao App. Tencent Cloud’s API is set to open soon, with duplex interaction and long-term personalized memory planned as future upgrade directions.

Industry sources and analysts note that Jensen Huang’s sudden resignation from NVIDIA could grant Korean memory chipmakers greater leverage in upcoming supply negotiations. However, the future of various AI projects he personally championed now hangs in the balance. Ahn Ki-hyun, vice chairman of the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association, told reporters in an interview: “This may not be a bad thing for us. Even if other firms fill the market gap left by NVIDIA, those companies will still require our HBM.” Ahn emphasized that NVIDIA’s reliance on a small number of memory suppliers is the core issue, rather than the personal relationship between Jensen Huang and Korean business leaders. “If NVIDIA wants to switch suppliers, it must find alternatives—but where are those alternatives? We don’t have to concentrate our production capacity on a single client; we can spread supply across multiple customers, which is actually more advantageous for us.”
