中国科技巨头腾讯周三推出新的人工智能模型Hy4，设置旨在降低其被用于网络攻击和潜在有害生物研究滥用风险的防护措施。
Chinese tech giant Tencent on Wednesday launched a new artificial intelligence model, Hy4, with safeguards aimed at reducing the risk of its misuse in cyberattacks and potentially harmful biological research.
这家总部位于深圳的公司以开发热门即时通讯应用微信而闻名，称该模型使用网络安全数据进行训练，重点关注防御性任务，例如识别和修复软件漏洞，同时排除与进攻性利用相关的材料。
The Shenzhen-based company, best known for developing the popular messaging app WeChat, said the model was trained using cybersecurity data focused on defensive tasks, such as identifying and fixing software vulnerabilities, while excluding material related to offensive exploitation.
腾讯表示，其内部研究团队进行的安全评估发现，在测试的领域中，该模型协助网络攻击的能力不存在重大担忧。
Tencent said security assessments conducted by its internal research teams found no significant concerns about the model's ability to assist in cyberattacks in the areas tested.
该公司还表示，Hy4在生物学方面展现出强大的知识，但在设计开放式实验方面的能力，与一些最先进的AI模型相比更为有限。
The company also said Hy4 demonstrated strong knowledge of biology but had more limited capabilities in designing open-ended experiments compared with some of the most advanced AI models.
除了安全功能外，根据腾讯的说法，Hy4可以分析图像、解读复杂图表、编写计算机代码，并使用软件界面执行任务。
Beyond its safety features, Hy4 can analyze images, interpret complex charts, write computer code and perform tasks using software interfaces, according to Tencent.
该公司表示，该模型已通过其多个云和工作场景应用提供，并计划在未来几天发布其底层模型权重和技术文档。
The company said the model is already available through several of its cloud and workplace applications, with plans to release its underlying model weights and technical documentation in the coming days.
Hy4是腾讯不断壮大的AI产品组合的最新成员，此前该公司在八月发布了预览版。该公司表示，新模型在包括金融分析、科学研究和软件开发在内的领域性能有所提升。
Hy4 is the latest addition to Tencent's growing AI portfolio, following the release of a preview version in August. The company said the new model offers improved performance in areas including financial analysis, scientific research and software development.
