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

Q · 01 What is Hunyuan TurboS priced at today? +
Tencent Cloud's official Hunyuan pricing page lists Y0.80/M input and Y2.00/M output for Hunyuan TurboS. AI//COST stores that as $0.113/M and $0.282/M using the queue's Y7.1/USD conversion rate.
Q · 02 Does Tencent publish a cache-hit discount for TurboS? +
No. The public pricing row for Hunyuan TurboS 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 How does TurboS compare with Hunyuan Lite? +
Hunyuan Lite is free, but it is a rate-limited entry tier rather than Tencent's main paid production row. TurboS is the cleaner paid baseline when you need predictable billing and more headroom.
Q · 04 How does TurboS compare with T1? +
Hunyuan T1 is pricier at $0.141/M input and $0.563/M output and is positioned for deeper reasoning. TurboS is cheaper and better aligned with high-volume chat or support traffic.
Q · 05 Is TurboS covered by Tencent's free trial tokens? +
Tencent's access docs say new API users get a shared 1M token free quota across Hunyuan models. The quote tiles here show the standard public list price after that shared allowance is consumed.
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. Enterprise rebates, negotiated contracts, and region-specific billing are outside this page.
