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 HY 2.0 Instruct pricing questions, with Tencent's tiered CNY table separated from calculator assumptions.

Q · 01 What is Hunyuan 2.0 Instruct priced at today? +
Tencent Cloud's official Hunyuan pricing page lists a baseline of Y3.18/M input and Y7.95/M output for prompts up to 32K tokens. AI//COST stores that as $0.448/M and $1.120/M using the queue's Y7.1/USD conversion rate.
Q · 02 Does the price change for long prompts? +
Yes. Tencent publishes a second public tier for prompts in the 32K-128K range at Y4.505/M input and Y11.13/M output. The calculator here uses the cheaper baseline row, so long-context workloads should be priced with the higher tier when relevant.
Q · 03 Does Tencent publish a cache-hit discount for HY 2.0 Instruct? +
No. The public pricing row does not show a separate prompt-cache or cache-hit rate. This page therefore treats cached input the same as standard input instead of inventing a discount.
Q · 04 How does HY 2.0 Instruct compare with HY 2.0 Think? +
HY 2.0 Think is pricier at $0.560/M input and $2.239/M output on the baseline tier. Instruct is the cheaper 2.0 row when you want long-context instruction following without paying Tencent's frontier reasoning premium.
Q · 05 When was the last public price change? +
The queue's verified pricing snapshot tracks a major public increase on 2026-03-13. This run re-verified on 2026-05-23 that Tencent still lists the same tiered row.
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 comparison. Contract rebates, private discounts, and non-public billing arrangements are outside this page.
