Tencent launched a preview of Hy Image 3.5, its latest image-generation model. The release gives users access to a new Tencent system for creating images during the company's competition with Alibaba and ByteDance.

Tencent said internal testing put the model's results on par with ByteDance's Seedream 5.0 Pro. The comparison is a company claim, and the product remains a preview.
