From 'Not Seated at the Main Table' to 'Computing Power Overload': Ha…

On July 8, two days after the official launch of Hy3, computing resources for the Hy3 model on Tencent's WorkBuddy platform were overwhelmed, with queue rates exceeding 50% in the afternoon. The official team scaled up capacity overnight and announced service restoration on July 9. On July 9, Hy3, in its limited-time free trial phase, rose to eighth place on OpenRouter's list of most popular models. On the day Hy3 was launched, Tencent’s share price rose by 4.82%, prompting Bank of America Securities to issue a 'Buy' rating, noting that Hy3’s actual performance exceeded expectations. Over the past two years, Tencent has consistently been 'left out of the main conversation' in the large-model arena. During its preview phase, daily token consumption had surged 20-fold, and the number of users on WorkBuddy who voluntarily selected the Hy3 preview increased sixfold. During peak queuing periods, over half of requests were awaiting processing, yet user churn remained low.
