@Fenng: WeLM is a proprietary large model developed by Tencent's WeChat team, while Hunyuan is Tencent's open-source large model; they have different positioning. Since it's a closed-source large model, it cannot disclose technical details externally, nor can it participate in evaluations (evaluations are just a promotional tool). If you want to pay attention, it's better to experience it through the product.
Summary
Fenng explained the positioning difference between Tencent's WeLM (closed-source large model) and Hunyuan (open-source large model), pointing out that the closed-source model will not disclose technical details or participate in evaluations, and suggested understanding it through product experience.
