Tencent: Hy3 preview
Analysis Summary
Tencent Hy3 preview is a lightweight model from Tencent, released April 2026, with an intelligence index of 26.1 and an agentic index of 49.7. GPQA at 0.732 and HLE at 0.063 confirm it operates well below frontier reasoning levels. Tool use and function calling are supported, and the 262K context window is generous for its price tier.
For businesses, it suits high-volume, low-complexity automation: simple classification, structured data extraction, and lightweight agentic tasks where cost per call is the primary constraint. The ifbench score of 0.480 and lcr of 0.337 suggest instruction following and long-context reasoning are not strengths, so complex or nuanced tasks should go elsewhere.
At $0.063 input and $0.21 output per million tokens, it is exceptionally cheap. A -4 point regional accessibility adjustment applies. For teams running massive-scale, simple automation pipelines who manage their own API access, the cost efficiency is hard to match, but it is not suitable for quality-sensitive or complex reasoning workloads.
