§ 04 / TOKENIZER

Paste text. See tokens. See cost.

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 T1 pricing questions, with the official CNY table separated from calculator assumptions.

Q · 01 What is Hunyuan T1 priced at today? +
Tencent Cloud's official Hunyuan pricing page lists Y1.00/M input and Y4.00/M output for Hunyuan T1. AI//COST stores that as $0.141/M and $0.563/M using the queue's Y7.1/USD conversion rate.
Q · 02 Does Tencent publish a cache-hit discount for T1? +
No. The public pricing row for Hunyuan T1 does not show a separate cache-hit or prompt-caching rate. This page therefore treats cached input the same as standard input instead of inventing a discount.
Q · 03 How does T1 compare with Hunyuan TurboS? +
Hunyuan TurboS is cheaper at $0.113/M input and $0.282/M output, but T1 is positioned as Tencent's reasoning-focused flagship. If your workload is mostly speed-sensitive chat, TurboS is the cheaper fit.
Q · 04 Is Hunyuan T1 free to try? +
Tencent's model-access docs say new API callers get a shared 1M token free quota across Hunyuan models. The list prices on this page are the standard paid rates after that trial allowance is exhausted.
Q · 05 Has Tencent changed the T1 public rate recently? +
Not on the current public page. This run re-verified the same Y1.00/M input and Y4.00/M output row on 2026-05-23.
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 discounts, rebates, and region-specific billing are outside this page.
