Tencent's Hy-MT2-1.8B, a large-scale edge translation model, has been launched.

Tencent Hunyuan has launched the Hy-MT2-1.8B translation model. Through 2-bit compression and its self-developed Sherry 1.25-bit technology, the 3.3GB model is compressed to an extreme degree, achieving near-lossless translation quality that surpasses commercial APIs such as Microsoft and Doubao. Collaborating with Intel to optimize x86 operators, it has already been implemented in real-time translation of Bilibili live stream comments, supporting 33 languages, with a single comment translation time of 500-800ms.
