Tencent Hunyuan Hy4 scores 35 on Intelligence Index v5

Why we picked it

Hy4 achieves parity with Grok 4.7 at one-tenth the cost, with a Cost per Intelligence Index Task of US$0.78 versus far pricier Western peers. The main caveat is an 89% hallucination rate on AA-Omniscience v1.1 against Kimi K3.1 Pro's 37%, so agentic coding is the safer use case than knowledge retrieval. Teams benchmarking China-based models against Claude, Grok or Qwen options should weigh that trade-off directly.

Tencent Hunyuan released Hy4, the successor to Hy3 from earlier in 2026. The model scores 35 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, equal to Grok 4.7 (xhigh) and 1 point behind Claude Haiku 5.5 (max), making it the second-highest scorer among China-based lab models behind Kimi K3.1 Pro's 46. Hy4 scores 31% on FrontierCode 2.0 and 37% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, with a 1 million-token context window and text-and-image input. Pricing is US$0.834/US$2.501 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at US$0.042 per 1M tokens.
