General Introduction

Tencent hybrid Turbo S is Tencent's self-developed new generation of fast-thinking large model, has been online in the Tencent cloud official website, and on February 27, 2025 was officially released. Unlike traditional slow-thinking models (e.g. Deepseek R1, Mixed Meta T1), it can achieve "second reply", doubling the speed of spitting, and reducing the latency of the first word by 44%. This model performs well in knowledge quizzes, mathematical reasoning, and creative tasks, and its performance is on par with that of industry-leading models such as DeepSeek V3 and GPT-4o. 4o and other industry-leading models. It utilizes an innovative Hybrid-Mamba-Transformer architecture to reduce computational costs and improve the efficiency of long text processing. Developers can call it via API, while ordinary users can experience it at Tencent Yuanbao. It currently offers a one-week free trial, priced at $0.8/million tokens for input and $2/million tokens for output, making it cost-effective.
