Tencent: Hy3

tencent/hy3

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.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Effective Pricing

The chart below shows the average price customers are actually paying after prompt caching. Depending on the amount of repeated context you send, this can be 60–80% cheaper than the provider list price. Shown are rolling averages from the past 30 days.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
