Hy3 is the official release in Tencent's Hy family, positioned as the stability and integration successor to a prior Hy3 preview. According to the official announcement, the model delivers enhanced performance, greater stability, cost efficiency, and expanded integration across Tencent products and services. Its development emphasizes agent-oriented behavior, with the public model card dedicating dedicated sections to "Stronger Agent Capabilities" and "More Reliable Product Experiences," signaling a design intent centered on tool-using assistants and production-grade deployment rather than purely conversational chat. A "Benchmark Appendix" section further indicates that quantitative comparisons accompany the release, though specific scores are not visible in the available excerpts.
Hy3 is released as an open-weights model under the Apache 2.0 License, with the primary repository hosted at the tencent/Hy3 Hugging Face organization and mirrored on ModelScope, cnb.cool, and GitCode for broad accessibility. Distribution is paired with an official landing site at aistudio.tencent.com and a public GitHub repository under Tencent-Hunyuan/Hy3, giving developers multiple entry points for both evaluation and self-hosting. Beyond open weights, the model is also surfaced through Tencent's TokenHub large-model service platform on Tencent Cloud, providing a managed inference path alongside the open distribution channels. This combination of permissive licensing and managed serving makes Hy3 a practical fit for teams that want to fine-tune or self-deploy for agent workflows while retaining the option to use a hosted endpoint for production workloads.
