Tencent has released the full version of Hy3, a 295-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, under a permissive Apache 2.0 license. This licensing shift is a significant move for the company, as it removes previous regional restrictions that hindered adoption by enterprises in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and South Korea.
By making the weights open and accessible, Tencent positions Hy3 as a direct competitor to other leading open-source models, specifically targeting the current coding leader, GLM-5.2. While Hy3 trails GLM-5.2 in complex coding benchmarks, Tencent reports that its model excels in agentic search, tool orchestration, and long-context retrieval.
