Tencent Releases Hy4-preview MoE Model Under Apache 2.0 License

LinkTencent Hy TeamAnnouncement

The Tencent Hy Team has released Hy4-preview, an open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model featuring 770B total parameters and 49B activated parameters per token. The flagship model supports a 1M token context window and is tuned for software engineering, office analytics, and scientific research.

Key points

  1. MoE architecture featuring 770B total parameters (49B active per token), 78 layers (77 MoE layers with 256 routed and 1 shared expert), and a 1M context window.
  2. Integrates Gated DeepSeek Sparse Attention (Gated DSA) with IndexCache, alongside a native MTP layer for speculative decoding.
  3. Tailored for coding, data analysis, document processing, and deep integration with Tencent internal tools such as CodeBuddy and WorkBuddy.
  4. Supported by dedicated vLLM and SGLang prebuilt Docker containers, released under the Apache 2.0 license alongside an FP8 quantization.
  5. Current preview limitations include unnecessarily long reasoning phases on complex tasks and a tendency to over-verify intermediate work.

Why it matters

Hy4-preview marks a notable step forward for open-weights frontier models, combining very large parameter counts with sparse activation to keep serving viable. Its permissive Apache 2.0 license and turn-key deployment paths in vLLM and SGLang allow teams to evaluate large-scale reasoning and coding capabilities within their own infrastructure.

Analysis

Tencent incorporates key recent architectural designs—including Gated Sparse Attention and multi-token prediction—to deliver efficiency gains across 78 layers and 1M tokens of context. Rather than focusing purely on synthetic evaluations, the team highlights productivity gains across software development and workplace automation. While the release shows strong metrics against competing models such as GLM 5.3 and Kimi K3, Tencent explicitly acknowledges that reasoning efficiency and over-thinking remain active targets for follow-up iterations.
