Tencent unveils full-stack embodied AI at WAIC
At WAIC 2026, Tencent presented a full-stack embodied intelligence offering built on three new robot models and made its ADP 4.0 enterprise agent platform available worldwide, extending its Hy model push into robotics and workplace agents.
Tencent announced a set of embodied intelligence and AI agent products at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026). The company said this was the first time it had presented its full-stack embodied strategy at the event.
The model layer has three parts. Hy-Embodied-RxBrain-1.0 is the reasoning engine and combines language reasoning with visual understanding. Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.0 handles perception. Tencent says it matches the company's previous flagship model while using one-tenth of the compute. Hy-Embodied-VLA-0.5 is a vision-language-action model trained on more than 10,000 hours of data, and Tencent says it can be deployed across different types of robots. The company says it has tested the models in retail guidance, visitor assistance and eldercare. It did not release benchmarks.
Tencent also introduced the TairosAgent framework and an agent called Apexio. It upgraded Tairos, the embodied platform it launched in 2025, and said the platform will offer open-source capabilities and tools. Tencent Cloud added a cloud service called Embodied-AI-as-a-Service (EaaS).
On the agent side, Tencent Cloud's Agent Development Platform 4.0 (ADP 4.0) is now available globally. It adds LINE and Telegram connectors, Google Workspace integration, custom time-zone scheduling and automatic language adaptation. Tencent says the platform is already deployed in more than 30 industries. Its WorkBuddy app for individual users is now on iOS, Android and HarmonyOS.
Tencent repeated an earlier claim that API calls to its Hy3 model grew more than 68-fold over Hy2 in the week after launch, putting Hy3 at the top of OpenRouter's usage leaderboard.
The announcement gave no pricing and no specific open-source release dates.
