Calibrated · measured on the vendor's tokenizer · 2026-06-10 Auto-counts as you type

Counts use a chars-per-token calibration measured on the vendor's own published tokenizer (tencent/Hunyuan-A13B-Instruct, 2026-06-10). English prose is typically within a few percent; code and non-Latin scripts tokenize heavier. For billing-exact counts use the vendor's count-tokens API.

Frequently asked.

Practical Hunyuan translation-lite pricing questions, with Tencent's public CNY row separated from latency assumptions.

Q · 01 What is Hunyuan Translation Lite priced at today? +
Tencent Cloud's official Hunyuan pricing page lists Y1.00/M input and Y3.00/M output for Hunyuan Translation Lite. AI//COST stores that as $0.1488/M and $0.4464/M using the Y6.7209/USD conversion rate.
Q · 02 Why use Translation Lite instead of the full Translation row? +
Tencent's own real-time speech translation demo documents hunyuan-translation-lite as the default lower-latency model. The full Hunyuan Translation tier is more expensive and is the better fit when you want the heavier translation specialist instead of the lighter row.
Q · 03 Does Tencent publish a cache-hit discount for Translation Lite? +
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 inventing a discount.
Q · 04 How does it compare with Doubao Seed Translation? +
Doubao Seed Translation is pricier at $0.1785/M input and $0.5356/M output after the same CNY-to-USD conversion rule. Translation Lite is the cheaper dedicated-translation pick between the two.
Q · 05 Is there an even cheaper option for multilingual traffic? +
Yes, but usually not as a dedicated translation specialist. Generic low-cost rows such as Doubao Seed 1.6 Flash are cheaper, though they are not purpose-built translation SKUs.
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.
