The company also pledged to collaborate with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia to train over 1,000 digital and AI talents, and showcased enterprise AI products including WorkBuddy (agentic workspace), Agent Development Platform (custom multi-agent builder), and TokenHub (multi-LLM Model-as-a-Service via single API). Tencent's Hy3 large model is available free through WorkBuddy until 31 Aug 2026 Pacific Time. Why: A Johor-based cloud region gives Malaysian builders a new option for lower-latency deployment and data residency within Malaysia, which matters for compliance-sensitive workloads. TokenHub's single-API multi-LLM access and the Agent Development Platform are worth evaluating as alternatives to existing agent-building and LLM gateway tooling. Hy3 being free through WorkBuddy until 31 Aug 2026 is a time-bound opportunity to test Tencent's flagship model at no cost before committing. cloud-infrastructure malaysia-tech ai-agents llm-gateway data-residency
