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 role-model pricing questions, with the official CNY row separated from migration notes.

Q · 01 What is Hunyuan Large Role priced at today? +
Tencent Cloud's official Hunyuan pricing page lists Y2.40/M input and Y9.60/M output for Hunyuan Large Role. AI//COST stores that as $0.338/M and $1.352/M using the queue's Y7.1/USD conversion rate.
Q · 02 Does Tencent publish a cache-hit discount for this row? +
No. The public pricing row does not show a separate prompt-cache or cache-hit price. This page therefore treats cached input the same as standard input instead of fabricating a discount.
Q · 03 What context limit is publicly documented? +
Tencent's current product page for the latest role-play model describes 28K maximum input and 4K maximum output. The pricing page itself only publishes the token rates, so AI//COST pairs the billing row with the current product-page limits.
Q · 04 Is this row already deprecated? +
Not yet, but Tencent has published a migration notice saying older hunyuan-large-role versions retire on 2026-06-22. The recommended destination is hunyuan-role-latest, so this page is best treated as an active-but-near-archive pricing reference.
Q · 05 Is there a cheaper character-chat alternative? +
Yes. Doubao Seed Character is materially cheaper on both input and output. If you need to stay inside Tencent's stack, the translation rows are also cheaper, but they are not role-play specialists.
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 non-public billing terms are outside this page.
