Tencent HY3 GA: license loosened to Apache 2.0, free tier drives #1 weekly usage
Official release relicensed the weights from the preview's community license to Apache 2.0, and a two-week free OpenRouter tier pushed HY3 to #1 by weekly usage (6.13T tokens) — a ~8.6% share model with, at time of entry, zero independent security testing in either direction.
