Frequently asked questions

Is Hy3 as good as GPT-6 Luna (batch)?

Hy3 is open-weight and competitive on many tasks, but GPT-6 Luna (batch) may still lead on the hardest reasoning and agentic work. The gap keeps narrowing — benchmark both on your actual use case before deciding.

Can I run Hy3 locally?

Yes. Hy3 has open weights, so you can self-host it on your own GPUs or run it via a low-cost API. GPT-6 Luna (batch) is API-only and cannot be self-hosted.

Hy3 vs GPT-6 Luna (batch) — which should I pick in 2026?

Choose Hy3 if you want to self-host, keep your data private and skip per-token fees — it's open-weight and runs on your own hardware. Choose GPT-6 Luna (batch) if you want frontier capability through a managed API with zero infrastructure to run.
