Tencent Hy3 API use jumps 68x

Tencent says Hy3 generated more than 68 times as many API calls as its previous-generation model and reached the top of OpenRouter’s global usage leaderboard within a week of launch. The company’s global rollout announcement describes a 295-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 21 billion active parameters, a 256K context window, Apache 2.0 licensing, and API access starting at $0.1288 per million input tokens. Builders comparing Meta’s local agent weights should treat the surge as adoption evidence—not proof of quality—and check tool-call reliability before routing production traffic by price alone.
