Hunyuan Hy3 API — pricing and access

Généraliste et agentic, excellent rapport perf/prix

Input: $0.165 USD / 1M tokens
Output: $0.682 USD / 1M tokens
Context: 256k
Available on: Starter and above
Provider: Tencent

Hunyuan Hy3 is the generalist agentic model on the Starter plan: it's the one to try first for an assistant that needs to both converse and trigger tool calls — search, API calls, reading files — without moving to a pricier plan. Its 256k window and low price also make it a solid choice for ingesting large documents.

Against DeepSeek V4 Flash, its closest neighbor in price and available at the same Starter tier, Hy3 handles multi-step tasks better, while DeepSeek V4 Flash stays stronger on short, one-off answers. Against MiniMax M3, which targets the same agentic use case but at the Dev tier, Hy3 remains the entry-level pick before moving up if task complexity grows.

It is not the right choice for flagship-grade reasoning — deep legal analysis, math, critical code review — where DeepSeek V4 Pro or Qwen3.7 Max bring a reliability Hy3 doesn't offer at that level of complexity.
