Tencent says it has expanded the inference capacity for its Hy4 model tenfold after a surge in demand from its WorkBuddy product leads many users to hit usage limits on the first day. In a statement on November 5, the company says it is increasing free usage allowances and continues adjusting its computing resources to meet ongoing demand.
Across outlets, the reports largely agree on the core sequence: WorkBuddy demand spikes, users reach quotas, and Tencent responds by scaling Hy4’s inference cluster. TechNode emphasizes the first-day “usage limits” outcome and Tencent’s ongoing capacity adjustments, while Pandaily adds an extra framing element by noting Tencent’s reference to benchmark rankings for Chinese models. Both accounts focus on capacity scaling rather than changes to model capabilities.
