**HONG KONG/NEW YORK** – Tencent has launched its Hunyuan T1 reasoning model, a significant advancement in China’s rapidly developing AI sector. The model, leveraging large-scale reinforcement learning, rivals DeepSeek’s R1 in both performance and cost-effectiveness, according to The South China Morning Post. While scoring 87.2 points on the MMLU Pro benchmark – surpassing DeepSeek-R1 but falling short of OpenAI’s model – T1 boasts faster response times and improved handling of long-form text, along with a low “hallucination” rate (producing false information). Tencent’s use of a hybrid architecture, combining Google’s Transformer and Mamba, contributes to significantly reduced training and inference costs.

Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA), while utilizing AI heavily in its autonomous driving and robotics, ranks only 5th on a list of top AI stocks attracting investor attention, according to a recent Insider Monkey report. While Morgan Stanley maintains an “Overweight” rating on TSLA, citing a shift towards diversification in AI and robotics despite lower-than-expected vehicle deliveries, the report suggests other AI stocks offer potentially higher returns in shorter timeframes. The report’s methodology focuses on stocks popular among hedge funds, a strategy that the publication claims has outperformed the market significantly since 2014. The report encourages investors seeking high-potential, undervalued AI stocks to explore other options.
