Tencent open-sources Hy4 LLM, passes agentic coding exam

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Tencent has open-sourced its Hy4 preview model, a 770B parameter LLM with a 1M context window. The model card for Hy4 admits to spending excessive time on complex tasks and over-verifying its work, despite strong benchmark results. An independent evaluation by the author of the article involved creating an agentic coding exam where Hy4 successfully implemented a refund feature after several iterations, demonstrating its ability to adhere to complex rules and integrate new functionality within an existing architecture.

IMPACT Tencent's Hy4 release offers a large context window and demonstrates capability in agentic tasks, potentially influencing future model development and evaluation methods.
