Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.0
An AI model: a vision-language-action model (VLA) takes camera images and an instruction and turns them into movements for a robot. This page describes the software, not a robot.

How to read the figures
- 14kgA30.9lbA
- The letter in the grey square after a figure points to the source the figure came from. Robots with several sources carry several letters.
- 74.5lb
- Imperial figures are our own conversion unless the manufacturer states an imperial figure itself. The source letter always belongs to the metric figure — a conversion has no source of its own.
Versions and notes in the key figures (6)
Model type
Note The developer calls it something else and does not label it vision-language-action, world action model or embodied reasoning: "An efficient Mixture-of-Experts vision–language foundation model for embodied agents in the physical world".
Controls
Note The model gives text answers, plans and navigation decisions, not robot motion: "Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.0 powers closed-loop navigation with a single model for language grounding, spatial memory, planning, and goal verification."
Inputs
The model card lists the vision inputs as "Image (up to 128 per prompt)".
Access
"Weights are available on" Hugging Face.
Parameters
Tencent gives an approximate total, "~30B total". "Only ~3B parameters are activated per token".
Base model
Tencent's description: "Combines the Hy3-A3B language backbone with the Hy-ViT2 vision encoder".

Notes
- Tencent describes Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.0 as an embodied foundation model for agents in the physical world; it was released on 15 July 2026.
- Tencent says the model powers closed-loop navigation with language grounding, spatial memory, planning and goal verification.
- The model is a Mixture-of-Experts vision-language model built by Tencent Robotics X, the Hy Vision Team and Futian Laboratory.
