This NEW Chinese AI is INSANE! (FREE + Open Source!)

Full transcript

This new Chinese AI is insane. Free plus open source. Today I'm going to show you a free AI that's shaking up SEO right now. It's from China.

It's huge. And it's built for one thing, getting work done. No fluff, no fake hype, just facts. This thing can read whole websites in one go and never forget a word.

Stick around because by the end you'll know if this changes your SEO game. SEO just got a new player and it's free. Today we're talking about HY3. It's a new open AI model from Tencent and it's built to help with real work, not just chat.

If you do SEO, content or run any kind of online business, this one is worth knowing about. Here's the deal. HY3 is free to use and open source. That means anyone can download it and run it.

It's a big model too. It has 295 billion parts inside it, but it only uses 21 billion of those parts at once. That's what makes it fast and cheaper to run than you think. Hey, if we haven't met already, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of SEO agency Goldie Agency.

Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers, I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. And Julian Goldie reads every comment, so make sure you comment below. It can also read a huge amount of text at one time. We're talking 256,000 tokens.

That's like feeding it a whole book or a full website or a big pile of SEO reports all at once. It won't forget the start by the time it gets to the end. For SEO work, that matters a lot. You can hand it your whole site content and it can still keep track of everything.

Let's slow down on that for a second because it matters. Most AI models you hear about are built to look good on a test. They answer one question well, then forget everything if you ask something new. HY3 was built the other way around.

Tencent focused on making it work inside real products first, then let the test scores follow. That's a different mindset. And it's why so many people are paying attention to this one. Now here's the part that makes it different.

Tencent didn't just build this to win tests. They built it to work inside real tools people use every day like chat apps, docs and coding tools. So it's made for doing tasks, not just answering questions. That means it's good at using tools, following steps and finishing a job on its own.

It can plan out a task, do it in stages and keep going without getting lost. For SEO, that's huge because good SEO work is never just one step. It's research, then writing, then checking, then publishing. It's also strong at coding.

People testing it say it's solid at building websites, fixing bugs and working with databases. If you run an SEO site or a tool, that's good news since a lot of SEO work touches code at some point. And because it only uses part of its full size at once, it costs less to run than a full size model that size would normally cost. That's a big deal if you want to run AI tools without needing a huge computer setup.

Let's talk about numbers for a second, just quickly. In one human test, HY3 scored 2.67 compared to another model called GLM which scored 2.51. Its error rate in longer chats dropped from 17.4% down to 7.9%. And on a memory test called MRCR, it jumped from 42.9% up to 75.1%.

Those numbers just show it's better at staying on track during longer tasks. That's exactly what SEO work needs since SEO is never a one message job. Think about it, a real SEO project means research, then a draft, then edits, then checking links, then publishing, then tracking results. Any AI that forgets steps along the way just creates more work for you, not less.

That's the whole point of a model built to stay on track. It's also worth saying this model was trained to handle formatting better and make stronger tool calls. Meaning when it needs to search, pull data, or run a step in a workflow, it's more likely to do it the right way the first time. For anyone building out automations, that reliability piece matters more than a flashy demo.

On top of that, HY3 isn't stuck in one place. You can run it through VLLM, SGLANG, OpenRouter, Modelscope, or even set it up yourself if you've got the hardware for it. That means teams have real choices for how they use it, whether they want a full self-hosted setup or a simple plugin option. For SEO teams building their own tools, that kind of flexibility is a big win.

And one more thing before we keep going. If you're building all this content and running all these SEO workflows, but nobody's finding you on Google, you've still got a real problem on your hands. That's where SEO comes in. My team and I help businesses rank higher on Google.

So more people find you, more visitors land on your pages, and more leads come through the door every single week. Check the link in the comments and description below to book a free SEO strategy session, and let us help you handle the SEO side while you focus on growing your business. Alright, let's get into the fun part. How can you actually use HY3 for SEO?

I'm going to walk you through workflows we use and teach inside AI Profit Boardroom. Keep watching because Workflow 7 is the big one that ties everything together. Workflow 1 is for entrepreneurs who want a clear SEO plan every week without digging through their own notes. This helps you turn your business notes into one simple weekly SEO to-do list.

The prompt is, you are an SEO advisor for my business inside AI Profit Boardroom. Read my notes and meeting notes below. Give me a simple weekly SEO plan to get more traffic and leads. Keep it short.

HY3 hands back, a clean weekly plan covering content, backlinks, and site fixes, so your team knows exactly what to do next right away. Workflow 2 is for marketing teams who want a full SEO campaign built fast from real data. This helps you turn customer data and competitor pages into one full SEO campaign plan. The prompt is, you're an SEO content strategist for AI Profit Boardroom.

Look at this customer data, these landing pages, and these competitor sites. Build me an SEO campaign with blog topics, an email plan, and keyword targets. HY3 returns a keyword list, blog outline, and email sequence built around real searches, ready for your team to publish and track. Workflow 3 is for students learning SEO who want to study faster and remember more.

This helps you turn an SEO lecture into notes, quizzes, and flashcards in seconds. The prompt is, you're an SEO tutor for a student in AI Profit Boardroom. Read this lecture on SEO ranking factors. Turn it into short notes, five quiz questions, and simple flashcards.

Keep it easy to understand. HY3 creates clear notes, a short quiz, and flashcards, turning one lecture into a full study system you can review daily. Workflow 4 is for teachers who want to build SEO lessons without spending hours planning. This helps you turn an SEO curriculum into a full lesson, worksheet, and grading rubric fast.

The prompt is, you're a course helper for an SEO teacher in AI Profit Boardroom. Using this outline, make a lesson plan, one worksheet, one assignment, and a grading rubric on how backlinks and rankings work. HY3 builds a full lesson pack, plan, worksheet, assignment, and rubric, ready to teach a beginner SEO class the very next day. Here's my final take.

For anyone doing SEO or running an online business, HY3 works best as the engine behind your systems, not as a chatbot you just talk to.
