(Yicai) Feb. 20 -- Tencent Holdings will; transfer key platforms QQ Browser, ima.copilot, and Sogou Input Method from its Platform and Content Group to its Cloud and Smart Industries Group, forming part of the Chinese tech giant's product line for the large language model era.

QQ Browser, Sogou Input Method, and ima.copilot are closely aligned with LLM applications, already implement artificial intelligence features, and have substantial user bases and content ecosystems. The browser reached over 430 million monthly active users as of last month, while the input method editor supports hundreds of millions of users.

The latest adjustment follows one made earlier this year when Tencent transferred its AI assistant Yuanbao, launched last May based on the firm's Hunyuan LLM, from its Technology Engineering Group to CSIG.

Ima.copilot, an AI-native application launched by the QQ Browser team last October, offers direct integration with WeChat Official Accounts and instant messaging app WeChat, while QQ Browser and Sogou Input Method have integrated Hunyuan.

Sogou Input Method also began evaluating plans for intelligent upgrades following an announcement that Tencent's Yuanbao, ima.copilot, QQ Browser, Tencent Docs, Tencent Maps, and QQ Music will support the Hunyuan and DeepSeek-R1 models.

Lori Wu, who heads Tencent Meeting, took over Yuanbao after the AI assistant's move to CSIG, according to tech website 36Kr.

Yuanbao recently integrated DeepSeek-R1, the open-source LLM developed by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek that has taken the world by storm, and began beta testing Tencent's self-developed deep thinking model Hunyuan T1. The service was made available to all users yesterday.
