Tencent has launched a suite of artificial intelligence tools that convert text and images into 3D visuals, showcasing the growing momentum of Chinese companies in generative AI. The new tools include five open-source models based on Hunyuan3D-2.0 technology, with turbo versions capable of generating high-quality 3D visuals in just 30 seconds. This initiative follows Tencent's earlier release of Hunyuan Turbo S, a large language model that processes queries faster than competitors.
The launch positions Tencent as a key player in the text-to-3D and image-to-3D generation market, primarily targeting designers and game developers. Tencent's advancements come amid increasing competition from AI startups like DeepSeek, which are challenging U.S. dominance in the field. Additionally, ByteDance is also entering the 3D generation space with its proprietary VeOmniverse model, highlighting the competitive landscape in AI development.
