Hy3 is a 295B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model from Tencent (21B active, 192 experts with top-8 routing) built for reasoning, agentic workflows, and real-world production use. It supports a configurable reasoning effort: a direct no-think mode by default, plus low and high chain-of-thought modes for complex math, coding, and multi-step problems. With a 256K context window, Hy3 targets long-horizon tasks, including improved coreference resolution, multi-turn constraint tracking, and stable tool-calling that generalizes across agent scaffoldings.

Tencent positions it as a reliable, cost-effective option across coding, document processing, financial analysis, game development, and frontend design, with a strong emphasis on grounded, anti-hallucination behavior that answers when grounded and flags when evidence is missing rather than fabricating.
