Tencent Hunyuan Unveils Hy4-preview: 770B MoE Model with Sparse Attention

RepositoryTencent-Hunyuan/Hy4-previewAnnouncement

The Tencent Hy Team has introduced Hy4-preview, a new flagship Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model featuring 770B total parameters with 49B activated per token. The architecture incorporates MoE routing, Gated DeepSeek Sparse Attention, and a native MTP layer for speculative decoding.

Key points

  1. Backbone architecture of 770B total parameters with 49B active per token across 78 layers.
  2. MoE implemented on 77 layers with 256 routed experts and 1 shared expert (activating Top-8).
  3. Integrated native MTP layer (10B parameters, 0.7B active) for speculative decoding acceleration.
  4. Utilises Gated DeepSeek Sparse Attention (Gated DSA) with IndexCache and identity Hyper-Connections (iHC).
  5. Supports standard inference runtimes including vLLM and SGLang, hosted on Hugging Face and ModelScope.

Why it matters

Massive MoE architectures deliver frontier model capacity while bounding active compute requirements per token. Hy4-preview showcases how architectures like sparse attention and native MTP are being operationalised in open-weight models.

Analysis

Hy4-preview represents an early release of Tencent's next-generation flagship model. Designed for high throughput and productivity tasks, it implements state-of-the-art sparse attention and hyper-connection patterns inspired by DeepSeek and GLM. As a preview release, its maturity is tailored towards community testing, evaluation, and ecosystem enablement within engines like vLLM and SGLang.
