Estimate · tencent-tokenizer-estimate · ≈3.85 chars/token Auto-counts as you type

This is a chars-per-token approximation, not a real tokenizer. Actual tokens vary by language, code density, and tool-call overhead — counts are typically ±10–20% off for English prose, more for code or non-Latin scripts. For exact billing, use the vendor's official tokenizer.

Frequently asked.

Practical Hunyuan A13B pricing questions, with Tencent's public CNY row separated from calculator assumptions.

Q · 01 What is Hunyuan A13B priced at today? +
Tencent Cloud's official Hunyuan pricing page lists Y0.50/M input and Y2.00/M output for Hunyuan A13B. AI//COST stores that as $0.070/M and $0.282/M using the queue's Y7.1/USD conversion rate.
Q · 02 Does Tencent publish a cache-hit discount for A13B? +
No. The public pricing row for Hunyuan A13B does not show a separate prompt-cache or cache-hit rate. This page therefore treats cached input the same as normal input instead of fabricating a discount.
Q · 03 Why does this page use 224K context? +
Tencent's official product overview currently lists Hunyuan A13B with 224K maximum input and 32K maximum output. The pricing page only shows the token rates, so this page pairs the billing row with the current product-overview context limit.
Q · 04 How does A13B compare with TurboS? +
Hunyuan TurboS costs $0.113/M input and $0.282/M output, so A13B is cheaper on input but matches TurboS on output. A13B is the better fit when you want a lower-input-cost Tencent paid row with a larger context ceiling.
Q · 05 Is A13B the cheapest paid Tencent row? +
Yes among the public paid text rows currently on Tencent's canonical pricing page. Hunyuan Lite is free, but A13B is the lowest-cost paid option before you step up to TurboS, T1, or HY 2.0.
Q · 06 Does this page include tax or enterprise discounts? +
No. AI//COST stores Tencent's public pre-tax list price and converts it to USD for cross-vendor comparison. Contract rebates, private discounts, and region-specific billing are outside this page.
