## Specs

- Context length: 262144 tokens
- Max output: 262144 tokens
- Modalities: text
- Released: 2026-07-06

## Pricing

- Input: $0.00 per million tokens

## Verdict

Tencent's Hy3 offers a generous 262K token context window at zero cost, making it a practical choice for teams experimenting with long-document workflows or prototyping multi-turn applications without budget constraints. The lack of public benchmark data means you're trading proven performance metrics for free access to extended context. Reach for this when you need to test long-context ideas cheaply, but validate outputs carefully and plan a migration path to benchmarked models for production workloads.
