Head-to-head comparison
Hy-MT2-1.8B (Tencent) and Hy3 (Tencent) compared on the ModelCap Index, API price, context window, provider availability, weight access and every public benchmark board they share. Figures are the same ones shown on the live rankings; nothing here is a hidden score.
Snapshot as of 20 August 2026
As of 20 August 2026, Hy3 holds the stronger ModelCap Index position (#20 vs #76); Hy-MT2-1.8B is 3× cheaper per output token ($0.177/1M vs $0.528/1M); and Hy3 offers the longer context window (262K vs 8K tokens).
Evidence: publisher corpus prior · leave-one-anchor-out calibrated · 5 public benchmark observations across 5 boards. Prices are the lowest listed API offer per million tokens observed on the OpenRouter catalogue.
Scores are the sources' own published figures for each model's best evaluated configuration; ModelCap never re-runs a benchmark.

Hy3 ranks higher on the ModelCap Index as of 20 August 2026: #20 against #76. That is a capability ranking built from public benchmark evidence with published uncertainty; whether it is "better" for you also depends on price, context and where you can run it.
Hy-MT2-1.8B is cheaper on output tokens: $0.177/1M against $0.528/1M. Input tokens are $0.044/1M for Hy-MT2-1.8B and $0.132/1M for Hy3. Prices are the lowest listed API offer ModelCap observed, in USD per million tokens.
Hy3 has the larger context window: 262K tokens against 8K.
The two models do not share a coding benchmark board on ModelCap yet, so no head-to-head coding score is published; the ModelCap Index position is the closest overall signal.
Hy-MT2-1.8B: Open weights. Hy3: Open weights. Open weights mean the checkpoint can be downloaded and self-hosted under its licence; API-only models are available solely through hosted endpoints.
ModelCap currently lists 1 API provider for Hy-MT2-1.8B and 6 for Hy3, from the OpenRouter catalogue snapshot the site serves; each model page lists the providers and their prices.
Every figure comes from the sealed ModelCap dataset published 20 August 2026; the page re-renders within a minute of each data refresh, and the ModelCap Index positions are the same ones shown on the live rankings.
