Tencent releases Apache-licensed Hy3, a 295B MoE model, with reliability wins — challenges GLM-5.2 in search and tool-heavy workloads.

Context

Tencent has released Hy3, a 295-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, under the Apache 2.0 license. This move makes Hy3 a viable option for enterprises in regions previously excluded by restrictive licenses. The model excels in search and tool-heavy agent workloads, but lags behind GLM-5.2 in coding performance.
