Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Sun Dong announced today (June 7) at the International Science, Technology and Innovation Forum of Boao Forum for Asia 2025 Hong Kong Conference that Hong Kong's self-developed large language model, HKGAI, will be officially launched in the second half of this year.
Regarding the development progress, Sun revealed that the team is working intensively to prepare for the release of HKGAI for public use by late 2024, with further details to be announced later.
The model supports real-time interaction in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, and can answer questions related to government structures, public services, and more. Sun specifically encouraged citizens to compare its performance with mainstream models like ChatGPT and DeepSeek once it becomes available.
According to available information, HKGAI is Hong Kong's first domestically developed AI large language model, featuring dialogue and reasoning systems capable of recognizing Cantonese, English, and Mandarin.
