Side-by-side comparison of Hy3-preview (Tencent) and MiniCPM5-1B (OpenBMB) for self-hosted deployment of the open-weight model. Hy3-preview is rated blocked; MiniCPM5-1B is conditional. They part ways on licence: Hy3-preview is "Tencent Hy Community", MiniCPM5-1B is "Apache 2.0".

| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Blocked Per the Tencent Hy Community License Agreement (Sections 1(l) and 5(c)), the licence's defined Territory excludes the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea, and licensees are expressly prohibited from using, distributing or displaying the model or its outputs outside that Territory. Under those terms the weights are not deployable for EU users or workloads, regardless of architecture quality. | Conditional Per the published Apache 2.0 LICENSE, the 1.08B-parameter weights carry no use restrictions and are well suited to on-device or edge deployments. Unusually for a Chinese-origin release, OpenBMB ships a full data card naming every pre-training and SFT corpus, which closes the AI Act Art. 53 transparency gap most peers leave open. The remaining hedge for regulated EU buyers is vendor jurisdiction (Tsinghua-affiliated lab, mainland China) — self-host the weights and treat any vendor-side service as out of scope. |
