- Cybersecurity training data was limited to defensive content.
- The move follows wider concern about AI-enabled cyberattacks.

## Summary

Tencent has released Hy4, an open-source AI model it says was trained with limited cybersecurity data to reduce the risk of enabling cyberattacks. The launch comes amid rising concern about AI-driven attacks and the potential threat advanced models pose to internet infrastructure.

Tencent says it filtered out training material on exploit development, reverse engineering and penetration testing to limit the model’s offensive capabilities. The company described the approach as part of a commitment to safer model training and releases; Chinese firm Moonshot AI also recently restricted cyber-offensive capabilities in its newest model.
