Hy4 has no independent scores yet; Tencent posts vision and computer-use claims
Nobody independent has posted Epoch-style scores for Tencent's Hy4, listed Nov. 4, 2026, at $0.42/$1.25 per million tokens with a 1,048,576-token context; Tencent says it adds vision and computer use over Hy4 preview.
Nobody independent has posted scores for Hy4 on Epoch AI's Capabilities Index or the other tests on this scoreboard2. Tencent's Hy team dated the release Nov. 4, 20261. OpenRouter lists $0.42 per million input tokens and $1.25 per million output tokens, with a 1,048,576-token context window3. Tencent says the model is on Tencent Cloud and OpenRouter and in products including CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, Yuanbao and ima1.
Tencent says Hy4 scales pre-training and post-training relative to Hy4 preview, adds vision for the first time, and improves instruction following, long-context understanding, long-horizon tasks and deep research1. Tencent says it can read fine-grained image detail and charts, and that computer use covers command-line and graphical interfaces, including software such as Blender and CAD1. Tencent says GameDev is 19.1% higher and GameLogic 9.8% higher than Hy4 preview1. Those percentages are Tencent's; they are not Epoch, ARC Prize, Artificial Analysis or Mercor runs1,2.
The field already ranked on this board is different. Claude Fable 5.2 ranks first of 44 on Epoch AI's Capabilities Index at 174.2; GPT-6 Astra is second at 169.2; Google DeepMind's Gemini 4 Argon is seventh at 166.52. Hy4 has no Epoch rank and no previous-from-same-lab row on the scoreboard2.
What is not known is any independent GPQA Diamond, FrontierMath, ARC-AGI-2, SciCode, APEX-Agents or SimpleQA Verified number, and whether Tencent's GameDev and GameLogic figures would hold under an outside harness1,2. This panel does not assign Hy4 a rank among the 44 models already on Epoch AI's index2.
