Positives
- Hy3 is surprisingly capable for its size, performing comparably well to larger models like DeepSeek V4 Pro on several benchmarks — a game-changer for local AI tools.
- Writes engaging prose and fine-tunes easily, now licensed under MIT — a big win for accessibility in AI development.
- Despite initial hiccups, the benchmark scores have improved significantly, hinting that Hy3 could become a popular choice for local deployments.
- It's exceedingly cheap compared to its competitors, making it an attractive option for anyone needing a FOSS model.
Concerns
- Hy3's architecture lacks the KV Cache efficiency of DS4, limiting its performance on larger tasks — a major drawback for heavy users.
- Commenters are skeptical about Hy3's competitive edge given its drop in OpenRouter rankings — it seems to be losing traction fast.
- Performance issues like slow response times and frequent HTTP errors on OpenRouter are frustrating users, casting doubt on its reliability.
- There are concerns about benchmark integrity, with some suggesting that Hy3 might be 'benchmaxxed' like many Chinese models — trust in its capabilities is shaky.
