How this price is scoped: Tencent lists this model in RMB on its TokenHub rate card — ¥6 in / ¥18 out / ¥0.3 cache-hit per 1M tokens. Those two region tabs are different rate cards in general (新加坡 reprices GLM-5.3 from ¥8/¥28/¥2 to ¥10.07524/¥31.66504/¥1.871116), but the Hy4 preview row is byte-identical on both, so this model has no separate international list. The USD above is that list at 7.197 CNY/USD, the rate implied to three figures by all three prices the FP8 endpoint Tencent itself operates quotes in USD ($0.834 / $2.501 / $0.042, the only endpoint serving this model). That is Tencent's own commercial rate, not a market snapshot: ECB spot on 2026-08-27 was 6.7203 CNY/USD, which would instead give $0.893 / $2.679 / $0.045. We publish what Tencent charges — FX_CURRENCY_POLICY rule (1) — not a spot re-conversion of its domestic card.

Price receipt

We read Tencent's own pricing page on Aug 28, 2026 and found Hy4 preview listed with a price on the same row — that read is where the number above comes from, recorded as a new model. The page prices it in CNY; the USD above is converted from that list at a dated FX rate — see the price note for the figures. We keep the page text we read; its content hash is 38746ea734.

Overview

Tencent Hy4 preview — Tencent's new-generation flagship Mixture-of-Experts model, 770B total parameters with 49B activated per token across 78 layers (256 routed experts plus one shared, top-8 routing), using Gated DeepSeek Sparse Attention with IndexCache and identity Hyper-Connections. Tencent open-sourced the instruct and FP8 weights under Apache 2.0 on 2026-08-27 and sells the model per token on its Tencent Cloud TokenHub rate card, serving it itself as an FP8 endpoint. Tencent's own model list gives a 1M context window with a 960K maximum input and a 64K maximum output; the endpoint Tencent operates reports 1,048,576 tokens, which is the figure published here. "preview" is Tencent's own name for this release, not a staging label of ours.

Benchmark performance

Percentile vs all tracked models 99.4th1 independent measurement
Percentile per $/Mtok 79.5

We hold no per-benchmark accuracy scores for this model yet, so it has no accuracy average. That is a gap in our coverage, not a sign the model is untested — independent evaluators often publish a composite index for a new model long before releasing its per-benchmark numbers. The percentile above is its standing across the independent composites below.
