An independent evaluation measures broader capabilityArtificial Analysis published Hy4’s results on November 5. The model scored 35 on Intelligence Index v5, ranking second among models from Chinese labs evaluated by the firm, behind Kimi K3.1 Pro. The index covers knowledge, reasoning and agent tasks. Hy4 scored 31% on the FrontierCode 2.0 coding evaluation.

Vision and computer use broaden the task rangeTencent’s November 4 release announcement described the addition of visual understanding and computer use to the preview model. Hy4 can combine command-line and graphical interfaces for cross-application tasks. Training priorities include complex charts, professional tools such as Blender and CAD, financial research, and frontend and game development, extending the model into practical software workflows.

Existing products provide accessHy4 is available through Tencent Cloud TokenHub, WorkBuddy, CodeBuddy, Yuanbao and a WeCom assistant, alongside API access for custom applications. Tencent lists standard prices of RMB6 per million input tokens and RMB18 per million output tokens, with a 50% TokenHub promotion through December 31. Product access and usage-based pricing both influence the cost of adopting the model in everyday work.
