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.
