Prices are Eden AI list prices, checked against the catalogue. Other labs' models, including DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax and Mimo, are also served on Tencent Cloud's platform and appear in the catalogue under the same tencent/ prefix. This page covers the four models Tencent Cloud builds itself.
Consider Tencent Cloud if
You serve users in Asia and want inference to happen close to them rather than on the other side of the world.
You need a very large context window. Hy4-preview holds one million tokens.
You translate at volume. Hy MT2 Lite is the cheapest dedicated translation model in the Eden AI LLM catalogue, at $0.044 per million input tokens.
Consider another provider if
You have an EU data residency requirement. Every Tencent Cloud endpoint on Eden AI is in the Asia-Pacific region.
You want Hunyuan from a US region. deepinfra/tencent/Hy3 and deepinfra/tencent/Hy4-preview serve the same models from a US region, in the same catalogue.
You are translating long documents in a single call. The Hy MT2 pair holds 8,000 tokens of context.
Tencent Cloud pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| A one million token context window on Hy4-preview | Served from Asia-Pacific only, with no EU or global route today |
| Two models built specifically for translation, the cheaper at $0.044 per million input tokens | The translation pair holds 8,000 tokens of context |
| Called with the same key and request shape as every other provider on Eden AI | Hunyuan is also served from a US region by another route in the catalogue, so this is not the only way to reach it |
Where Tencent Cloud runs
All Tencent Cloud endpoints on Eden AI are served from the Asia-Pacific region. There is no EU or global route to the Tencent Cloud platform today.
For an application whose users are in Asia, that is where inference should happen rather than a compromise. For an application with an EU data residency requirement, it is not an option today, and nothing on this page should suggest otherwise.
