tl;dr: Tencent has open-sourced Hy4 preview, a 770B-parameter MoE model (49B active) with a 1M+ token context window, targeting coding, office, and research tasks. In internal blind evaluations, it slightly outperformed GLM-5.3 and Kimi K3, and Tencent claims it participated in its own training optimization, improving inference throughput by 31.8%. API pricing is $0.834/M input tokens and $2.501/M output tokens, with free access via WorkBuddy and CodeBuddy for two weeks.
HN Discussion:
  • Testing the model with creative tasks like SVG generation reveals interesting reasoning behavior
  • The recursive self-improvement claim is notable and evokes prior AI predictions
  • Market traction and competitive pricing make Hy4 compelling versus competitors
  • Independent benchmarks show Hy4 underperforms claims, ranking below competitors in German eval
  • Marketing materials and charts in the release are misleading or poorly designed
