Hy3-preview Usage

Hy3-preview is a large-scale language model (295B parameters, 21B active parameters) from Tencent Hunyuan team. SGLang supports serving Hy3-preview. This guide describes how to run Hy3-preview with native BF16.

Installation

Docker

docker pull lmsysorg/sglang:hy3-preview

Build from Source

# Install SGLang
git clone https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang
cd sglang
pip3 install pip --upgrade
pip3 install "transformers>=5.6.0"
pip3 install -e "python"

Launch Hy3-preview with SGLang

To serve the Hy3-preview model on 8 GPUs. On 8x96GB H20, SGLang can barely deploy the BF16 model and can only run small batch sizes or short requests. Use larger-memory GPUs such as H20-3e when possible.

python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model tencent/Hy3-preview \
  --tp 8 \
  --tool-call-parser hunyuan \
  --reasoning-parser hunyuan \
  --served-model-name hy3-preview

EAGLE Speculative Decoding

Description: SGLang supports Hy3-preview models with EAGLE speculative decoding.

Usage: Add --speculative-algorithm, --speculative-num-steps, --speculative-eagle-topk, and --speculative-num-draft-tokens to enable this feature. For example:

python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model tencent/Hy3-preview \
  --tp 8 \
  --tool-call-parser hunyuan \
  --reasoning-parser hunyuan \
  --speculative-num-steps 1 \
  --speculative-eagle-topk 1 \
  --speculative-num-draft-tokens 2 \
  --speculative-algorithm EAGLE \
  --served-model-name hy3-preview

OpenAI Client Example

First, install the OpenAI Python client:

uv pip install -U openai

You can use the OpenAI client as follows to verify thinking-mode responses.

from openai import OpenAI

# If running SGLang locally with its default OpenAI-compatible port:
#   http://localhost:30000/v1
openai_api_key = "EMPTY"
openai_api_base = "http://localhost:30000/v1"

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=openai_api_key,
    base_url=openai_api_base,
)
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello."},
]

# Thinking mode is disabled by default (no need to pass chat_template_kwargs).
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="hy3-preview",
    messages=messages,
    temperature=1,
    max_tokens=4096,
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

# Thinking mode is enabled only if 'reasoning_effort' and 'interleaved_thinking' are set in 'chat_template_kwargs'.
# 'reasoning_effort' supports: 'high', 'low', 'no_think'.
resp_think = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="hy3-preview",
    messages=messages,
    temperature=1,
    max_tokens=4096,
    extra_body={
      "chat_template_kwargs": {
          "reasoning_effort": "high",
          "interleaved_thinking": True
      },
    },
)
output_msg = resp_think.choices[0].message
# thinking content
print(output_msg.reasoning_content)
# response content
print(output_msg.content)

cURL Usage

curl http://localhost:30000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "hy3-preview",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello."}
    ],
    "temperature": 1,
    "max_tokens": 4096
  }'

Benchmarking Results

For benchmarking, disable prefix caching by adding --disable-radix-cache to the server command.

The following example runs the benchmark on 8 H20 GPUs with 96 GB memory each.

python3 -m sglang.bench_serving \
    --backend sglang \
    --flush-cache \
    --dataset-name random \
    --random-range-ratio 1.0 \
    --random-input-len 4096 \
    --random-output-len 4096 \
    --num-prompts 5 \
    --max-concurrency 1 \
    --output-file hy3_preview_h20.jsonl \
    --model tencent/Hy3-preview \
    --served-model-name hy3-preview

If successful, you will see the following output.
