Tencent’s Hy3 is now the most-used model on OpenRouter this week, with 8.98T tokens and a sharp lead over GPT, Claude and DeepSeek.

• The author tested it with a coding prompt asking for a brute-force solution, an O(n) optimization, and a complexity explanation.
• Hy3 correctly produced the O(n²) approach first, then rewrote it into a single-pass O(n) version tracking the minimum price.
• The post highlights published specs: 295B total parameters, 21B active per token, 256K context, mixed fast/slow reasoning, Apache 2.0 licensing, and pricing listed by Tencent Cloud at 1 CNY/M input tokens and 4 CNY/M output tokens.
• The author notes that a single coding example is not a benchmark, but the usage surge may reflect those specs.
