Pricing tiers: Tencent Cloud TokenHub lists $0.132/$0.528 per MTok, with $0.033 cache-hit input. The checkpoint config has 262,144 native context; the hosted guide advertises context/input/output as 256K/192K/128K. An exact integer output ceiling is unverified. App subscriptions and self-hosted costs are separate.

Best for

  • Open-weight deployments
  • Cost-sensitive reasoning
  • Chinese + English

Watch out

TokenHub reasoning_effort accepts none/low/high and defaults high; when Hy3 requests include tools, low is mapped to high. Native Chat, Responses and Messages protocols are listed, but service activation is required and regional API keys are distinct. The announced CodeBuddy/WorkBuddy free-use extension ended September 30; it does not establish current free use. Keep Apache notices when redistributing weights. Historical benchmark captures remain withheld from current rankings.
