Summary

Tencent released Hy3, a 295B parameter MoE model with 21B active parameters per token, competitive with larger models on agentic coding and tool use tasks, with Apache 2.0 weights.

Final take : Tencent recently drop a 295B parameter model that only activates 21B params per token. While most labs are still obsessed with parameter count, Hy3 is showing something more interesting: The real moat is shifting from pretraining scale to high-quality product,agent feedback loops. And it’s competitive with (sometimes beating) models 2-5x larger on agentic coding, tool use, and real productivity tasks. Key details: - 295B total, 21B active params (MoE) - 256K context - Strong gains in agentic coding, tool use & long-context tasks - Beats or matches much larger models on several practical benchmarks - Extremely cheap to run via API Apache 2.0 weights are out. Strong post-training from actual product feedback loops (WorkBuddy etc.). efficiency with real-world agent data to raw scale quite good , Hy3 is worth testing if you’re building agents or care about cost-performance.

Final take : Tencent recently drop a 295B parameter model that only activates 21B params per token.

While most labs are still obsessed with parameter count,

Hy3 is showing something more interesting: The real moat is shifting from pretraining scale to high-quality product,agent feedback loops.

And it’s competitive with (sometimes beating) models 2-5x larger on agentic coding, tool use, and real productivity tasks.

Key details:

  • 295B total, 21B active params (MoE)
  • 256K context
  • Strong gains in agentic coding, tool use & long-context tasks
  • Beats or matches much larger models on several practical benchmarks
  • Extremely cheap to run via API

Apache 2.0 weights are out. Strong post-training from actual product feedback loops (WorkBuddy etc.).

efficiency with real-world agent data to raw scale quite good , Hy3 is worth testing if you’re building agents or care about cost-performance.
