China Telecom AI issued a GlobeNewswire release on 2026-09-22 officially launching Xing4.0-29B-A4B, 29 billion total parameters with 4 billion activated, pitched at enterprise-grade agentic work that also runs locally on a consumer graphics card. The weights actually landed on Hugging Face six days earlier: the HF API dates XingChen-AGI/Xing4.0-29B-A4B to 2026-09-16, and it has already pulled 30,627 downloads and 1,236 likes, with GGUF and FP8 variants at 7,329 and 420 downloads. That download count, not the press release, is the real adoption signal here.
