Tencent Cloud Launches Tencent Cloud DataBuddy, an Agent-Native Data + AI Workbench

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, announced the official launch of Tencent Cloud DataBuddy, its third assistant-class product alongside Tencent CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy — a fully managed, agent-native Data + AI workbench. Tencent Cloud DataBuddy integrates intelligent agents directly into the platform as core components that understand business logic, execute operational tasks, and function within a trusted, governed framework.

Tencent Cloud DataBuddy currently supports four primary agent scenarios: Data Engineering (end-to-end pipeline delivery from a single natural-language request, with self-healing), Data Governance (warehouse-wide health checks across metadata, lineage, quality, and security), Data Analytics (instant conversational insights with automated root-cause analysis), and Data Science (data and AI on one foundation, reducing model deployment from 30 days to 7).

The platform's capabilities are built on three core foundations: Unity Semantics, a business semantic layer delivering 95.9% analysis accuracy versus 83.5% for plain Natural Language to SQL (NL2SQL); an Agent Runtime layer engineered to enable enterprises to run their AI agents with governance, auditability and data controls built in; and OneOps, which unifies DataOps, MLOps, and AIOps in one platform. Together, these solutions deliver 5x to 10x efficiency gains across data teams.

Tencent Cloud DataBuddy is currently available in markets including China, Thailand, South Korea, and Indonesia, with ongoing rollouts in markets across Europe, North America and South America. Enterprises can connect their existing OLAP engines with zero data movement, or adopt the unified storage and compute platform to unlock key analytical and operational scenarios while retaining full control over data sovereignty.

The MoE Model Matches Cloud Models 10x Its Size in Everyday Cockpit Tasks

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Banma Intelligence Group introduced AutoOmni 2.0-23B-A3B, an omni-modal on-device LLM, at the Apsara Conference. Built on a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture, the model delivers routine-task performance comparable to that of 230B-parameter cloud models in intelligent cockpit scenarios. For complex tasks, it achieves 90% of the performance of similarly sized cloud models.

"Compatible with most mainstream high-performance automotive SoC platforms, our 23B on-device model supports stable concurrent execution of more than eight multitasking streams and accelerates large-model inference by five to six times," said Dr. Si Luo, chief technology officer of Banma Intelligence. He added that on-device models are opening a new interaction paradigm—a native intelligence era—for automobiles and other AI-powered devices.

Since its debut at the 2025 Apsara Conference, AutoOmni has been adopted by more than 60% of automakers integrating on-device AI into their products. This year, Banma Intelligence showcased an enhanced solution that combines the on-device model with a cloud-integrated agent architecture. The model seamlessly handled complex scenarios involving voice commands with ambiguous intent and cross-domain tasks, orchestrating multi-stop navigation, vehicle control, and infotainment operations with low latency and robust privacy safeguards.

The premium all-terrain vehicle FREELANDER 8—co-developed by Chery and Jaguar Land Rover—was also on display at Banma's booth as the world's first production vehicle to feature AutoOmni on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Cockpit Elite (SA8397P) platform. The booth also featured SAIC's MG Cyberster and BYD's DENZA Z9GT, the latter featuring a cloud-based agent solution that allows users to place food-delivery orders and book hotels via voice commands. These demonstrations drew executives and technology leaders from automakers including BMW and Volkswagen, as well as chipmakers such as Qualcomm and NVIDIA.
