> Tencent released Hy4 on November 4, 2026, its first Hy model with vision and computer use, priced at $0.834 per million input tokens and $2.501 per million output tokens. Vercel's changelog says "It also supports computer use in both command-line and graphical interfaces." Tencent says the weights will be open-sourced later.

Models in this brief: [Hy4](https://theagenticweekly.com/models/hy4)

## What changed

- Vision for the first time: Tencent's announcement says Hy4 can read fine-grained image detail and complex charts, and Vercel lists image input alongside reasoning, tool calling and structured outputs.
- Computer use for the first time, across command-line and graphical interfaces, with targeted training on software such as Blender and CAD and on workflows that span several applications, per Tencent.
- Pricing per million tokens on Tencent's page: $0.042 cached input, $0.834 input and $2.501 output, the same API price as Hy4 preview. Vercel AI Gateway lists it as tencent/hy4 at 50% off through December 31, 2026, with a 1M-token context window.
- Tencent-reported gains over Hy4 preview: 19.1% on GameDev, 9.8% on GameLogic, and a search hallucination rate cut from 15.76% to 5.45% in internal evaluations.
- Availability: Tencent Cloud, OpenRouter and Tencent products including CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, Yuanbao and ima. Weights are not out yet; Tencent says it plans to open-source them with a system card and vLLM and SGLang support, and a cheaper Hy4 flash is planned.
- Who should look: teams wanting a low-cost model with image input and computer use for agents can try it now via OpenRouter or Vercel AI Gateway; anyone needing self-hosted weights should wait, since they are announced, not released.

## What we have not verified

- We did not run Hy4 ourselves.
- All benchmark and evaluation figures (GameDev, GameLogic, hallucination rate, finance rankings) are Tencent's internal or partner evaluations; we did not reproduce them.
- Model weights, license terms and the system card are not published yet, so we cannot confirm parameter count or license.
- Tencent's page is dated November 4, 2026 while Vercel's changelog entry is dated November 3, 2026; we list the earlier date as the source time.
