Tencent: Hy3 (free)
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:...
Anyone in the Project can @-mention Tencent: Hy3 (free) with the team's shared context - pooled credits, one chat, one memory.
Starter is free forever - 1 Project, 100 credits/month, 1 MCP. No card.
Verdict
Best for
- Prototyping long-document applications
- Budget-constrained experimentation
- Multi-turn conversation testing
- Educational and learning projects
- Exploratory data analysis on large texts
Strengths
The 262K token context window handles full-length books, extensive codebases, or multi-document analysis in a single prompt. Zero-cost pricing removes financial friction from iteration cycles, letting teams test prompt strategies and workflow designs without metering anxiety. The extended context makes it viable for applications like meeting transcript summarization, legal document review prototypes, or RAG system development where you need to process large inputs during the build phase.
Trade-offs
No public benchmarks means you're flying blind on coding accuracy, reasoning depth, and factual reliability compared to models like GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet. Tencent's proprietary license limits transparency into training data and safety mitigations. Free tier models often come with rate limits or availability constraints that aren't documented upfront. Without performance data, you'll need to run your own evals before trusting this for anything beyond throwaway experiments or internal tooling.
