| Price basis | Alibaba Model Studio International (Singapore) list price, 0<Token≤32K tier. Tiered above that: 32K<Token≤256K is $0.10/$0.40 and 256K<Token≤1M is $0.20/$0.80 per 1M tokens. Batch calls bill at 50% and context-cache hits discount input only; no first-party cache rate is printed, so cached input is left unset rather than assumed. | Tencent's own price, quoted by the FP8 endpoint Tencent operates for this model. Tencent's RMB rate card carries the matching row — Hy-MT2-Lite at ¥0.3 in / ¥1.2 out per 1M tokens, the only row on that card that converts to these figures — at 6.78 CNY/USD. Tencent publishes no cached-input rate for this family. |
