- Performance in long-text understanding, retrieval, and coding assistance is close to the original BF16 version

## The update

Tencent Hunyuan has officially launched the Hy4 preview lite model. This version corely adopts the self-developed Sherry sparse ternary quantization algorithm, combined with the MIX-STQ1_0 mixed-precision layer-wise quantization strategy, achieving significant size reduction. Through this technical combination, the model weight data volume was drastically compressed from the original 1.5 TB to approximately 214 GB, greatly lowering storage and deployment thresholds. Despite deep compression, the Hy4 preview quantized version maintains high standards in key capabilities. In typical application scenarios such as long-text understanding, multi-turn context retrieval, and coding assistance, its actual performance is very close to the original BF16 model, ensuring that core business effects are not sacrificed while achieving lightweight deployment.
