It scores 86.89 (XCOMET-XXL) on FLORES-200's full translation matrix and actually leads the entire Hy-MT2 family — including the larger 30B-A3B — at 63.86 on WMT25's deliberately hard, low-saturation test set. ## At a Glance **Where Hy-MT2-7B leads** - Best-in-family score on WMT25 (63.86 XCOMET-XXL), edging out the larger 30B-A3B MoE variant (62.89) — the only benchmark where the mid-size dense model outperforms its bigger sibling - Strong efficiency-to-quality ratio: dense 7B architecture with straightforward deployment (no MoE routing complexity) while still competitive with much larger general-purpose LLMs on translation-specific evaluation - Outperforms Tower-Plus-72B (a 10x larger open translation-specialist model) on FLORES-200 and WMT25 **Where it lags** - Behind Hy-MT2-30B-A3B on FLORES-200 (86.89 vs 87.47) and on domain/real-world translation benchmarks - Behind frontier general-purpose models like Gemini 3.1 Pro on raw translation quality across the board - General instruction-following (IFBench, IFEval, MaXIFE, Multi-IF) is weaker than translation-specific instruction following — it's tuned for translation, not general-purpose chat **Best for:** Deployments wanting the best balance of translation quality and dense (non-MoE) architectural simplicity — particularly strong on harder/fresher test material like WMT25. ## What Hy-MT2-7B Is Hy-MT2-7B is the mid-size member (of 1.8B, 7B, 30B-A3B) in Tencent Hunyuan's second-generation "fast-thinking" multilingual translation model family, described in the technical report "Hy-MT2: A Family of Fast, Efficient and Powerful Multilingual Translation Models in the Wild." It's a dense transformer trained via a three-stage Family-Centric Post-training (FCPT) pipeline: MT-oriented mid-training on ~1T tokens of translation-related data, followed by Reference-Guided On-Policy Distillation and Family-specific RL training organized around language families (Western European, East Asian, Middle Eastern right-to-left), then a final Cross-family distillation step into a unified model. Like its siblings, Hy-MT2-7B is evaluated across four dimensions: general translation (FLORES-200, WMT25, Mandarin⇔Minority), real-world business scenarios (Tencent's own WildMTBench), domain-specific translation (Tencent's own DomainMTBench, covering finance/law/medicine/technology/politics/education), and translation instruction-following (IFMTBench, plus general instruction benchmarks IFBench/IFEval/MaXIFE/Multi-IF). Its standout result is topping the entire Hy-MT2 family on WMT25 — a test set explicitly curated to be hard and resist saturation — suggesting the 7B size may generalize better to genuinely novel source material than the larger MoE variant's higher-capacity-but-more-specialized routing. ## Specifications | Field | Value | |---|---| | Organization | Hungyuan (Tencent) | | Architecture | Dense transformer | | Parameters | 7B | | Context length | 262,144 tokens | | Supported languages | 33 | | License | Apache 2.0 | | Release date | May 2026 | | Modality | Text | | Quantized variants | FP8, GGUF (multiple quant levels) | ## Pricing Open weights under Apache 2.0 — self-hosted via transformers, vLLM, SGLang, or llama.cpp (GGUF builds available).

What is Hy-MT2-7B?

Hy-MT2-7B is Tencent Hunyuan's mid-size translation-specialist model, a 7B-parameter dense transformer supporting 33 languages, released under Apache 2.0.

Is Hy-MT2-7B open source?

Yes — it's released under the Apache 2.0 license with weights on Hugging Face and ModelScope, including FP8 and GGUF quantized variants.

Does Hy-MT2-7B beat the larger Hy-MT2-30B-A3B model?

Only on WMT25 (63.86 vs 62.89 XCOMET-XXL) — on FLORES-200 and the family's other evaluations, the larger 30B-A3B MoE model leads overall.
