Tencent's Hy3 Bets on Smaller Agent Models Instead of Bigger Ones
Tencent's Hunyuan team released Hy3 on July 6, a 295 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model that activates only 21 billion parameters and is built specifically for agent work rather than benchmark size. Internal WorkBuddy tests show task success jumping from 72% to 90% and hallucinations dropping from 12.5% to 5.4%, part of a wider trend of Chinese labs betting on smaller, agent-tuned models over raw scale.
