How to Use It

What Is Tencent Hy3?
Tencent Hy3 is a model from Tencent's Hunyuan series. While the source doesn't include benchmarks or specific capabilities, Tencent Hy models are known for large-scale multimodal understanding and generation. Hy3 specifically is optimized for chat and reasoning tasks, similar to other open-weight models. However, exact performance data is not provided in the announcement.
Who This Is For
This is relevant for any developer using OpenClaw who wants to evaluate Tencent Hy3 without cost. If you're running AI agent workflows, comparing model performance, or just need a free inference option for a short-term project, this two-week window gives you direct access.
Context
OpenClaw is a tool for configuring and routing AI model calls. It supports multiple providers via OpenRouter, so adding a free model is a matter of changing a config line. The free period is likely to attract developers for testing and feedback. Keep in mind that after the two weeks, the model will revert to paid pricing on OpenRouter — check OpenRouter's pricing page for ongoing rates.
No additional setup is needed beyond the command above. If you're already using OpenClaw, just update your model setting and proceed.
