Tencent open-sources Hy3, a 295B-parameter MoE under Apache 2.0

Tencent released Hy3, a 295B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 21B active parameters and a 256K-token context, under a permissive Apache 2.0 license. The license is the real signal — a frontier-scale model that is freely deployable and modifiable — and Tencent claims it cuts hallucinations from 12.5% to 5.4% versus its predecessor while beating similarly sized open models. It runs free via OpenRouter through July 21, where Simon Willison tested it on his SVG pelican-generation benchmark.
