Tencent released Hy3 on July 6, 2026. It\u2019s a new open Mixture-of-Experts model with 295B total parameters<\/strong>, 21B active on any given task, a 256K context window, and an Apache 2.0 license.<\/p>\n\n

The MoE design is the point here: each prompt only passes through part of the Hy3 network, which Tencent says cuts inference and serving costs<\/strong>. Hy3 is also meant to stay useful on long documents, large codebases, and multi-step work. And because it\u2019s under Apache 2.0, you\u2019ve got wide commercial freedom to self-host it, fine-tune it, and build global products with it, without the geographic restrictions that showed up in some earlier China-based open models.<\/p>\n\n

Tencent says the July 6, 2026 release is better than the April preview<\/strong> after feedback from 50 internal product teams. By Tencent\u2019s numbers, hallucinations dropped from 12.5% to 5.4%, and commonsense errors fell from 25.4% to 12.7%. Hy3 is already being used in WorkBuddy, Yuanbao<\/a>, WeChat assistants<\/a>, and Path of Exile: Advent, which makes it feel more substantial than a research demo built mainly to post benchmark scores.<\/p>\n\n

If you want an open model for search, tool use, or agentic tasks, Hy3 looks like one to download. Coding may still be a weaker spot, since Zhipu AI\u2019s GLM-5.2 could still have the edge there, and Tencent\u2019s claims need independent testing<\/strong> either way. Still, Hy3 now joins Zhipu AI, DeepSeek<\/a>, Alibaba\u2019s Qwen, and Mistral AI in putting more pressure on closed models from OpenAI and Anthropic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

You can get Hy3 from Tencent as an open release under the Apache 2.0 license.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
