Tencent open-sources Hy-MT2 multilingual translation model

腾讯开源Hy-MT2多语言翻译模型

Tencent open-sourced the Hy-MT2 multilingual translation model with support for translation across 33 languages; its 1.8B version uses AngelSlim 1.25-bit quantization, occupies 440 MB of storage, and runs locally on mainstream mobile chipsets.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: Tencent gives a specific edge-AI hook with 33 languages, 1.25-bit quantization, and a 440MB phone-local build. Benchmarks, latency, and license terms are not disclosed, so it stays below major flagship releases.
