Tencent is one of the most influential companies in the global technology sector, particularly in China, where it holds a prominent position. Founded in 1998, this company quickly established itself as a key player in various technological fields, ranging from social networks to video games, as well as artificial intelligence and fintech. Based in Shenzhen, Tencent is especially known for its popular application WeChat, which has transformed communication in China by integrating a multitude of services from mobile payment to e-commerce.

Furthermore, Tencent developed Dreamwriter, an AI capable of automatically writing articles, demonstrating its early commitment to artificial intelligence.
Additionally, Tencent has invested heavily in the field of augmented reality and virtual reality, collaborating with companies like ARM and MediaTek to perfect ray tracing on mobile devices, significantly enhancing the gaming experience.
Recently, Tencent launched Hunyuan-T1, an advanced reasoning model capable of competing with top international standards, such as DeepSeek R1. This model uses a Hybrid-Transformer-Mamba MoE architecture and has shown exceptional performance in technical fields like mathematics and coding, reinforcing Tencent's position in the AI sector.
Tencent also launched a facial recognition program, "Midnight Patrol," aimed at limiting young people's addiction to video games, in compliance with Chinese regulations. This program reflects Tencent's commitment to adapting to legislative frameworks while innovating in the technological field.
