Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/hy4.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/hy4.json\n- Best model APIs and inference for AI agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/inference/index.md\n- All 1044 models comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/inference/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### Cerebras Inference (B)\n\nGood for: Cerebras Inference serves language models on Cerebras wafer-scale processors through an OpenAI-compatible API.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 70 against 46\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 93 against 73\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 60 against 52\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install\n\nWatch for: Trial access requires a verified payment method and ends after $5 or 30 days\n\n### Tencent Hy4 (B)\n\nGood for: Long-context agent work, coding and office or finance tasks on a 1M-token context with images, for teams already on Tencent Cloud or happy to verify an account there.\n\nAhead on:\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 45 against 30\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 73 against 65\n\nWatch for: Weights, licence and system card are promised but not published; tencent/Hy4 didn't answer on Hugging Face on 11 November\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Reliability: Cerebras Inference +24\n\n- Cerebras Inference (70): Graded as listed, on the hosted API lines. Public component status history at status.cerebras.ai, with components for GPT-OSS-120B, Qwen-3.8-27b and the Developer Console (20). The history feed, read on 1 November 2026, runs back to November 2025, so the whole 90 days from 3 August were read. On 25 September 2026 Cerebras posted that parts of the service might be unavailable from 10:54 UTC, services were back at 13:41 UTC and the incident was resolved at 17:14 UTC, marked major and affecting both public model components. That is about 2 hours 47 minutes with the whole shared catalogue affected, one major. A 15-minute partial degradation of Gemma 4 31B on 27 August is minor, and the 30 August firewall maintenance was announced on 25 August (10). Numeric rate-limit tables, although the trial request limit is 5 a minute on the rate-limits page and 30 a minute on the GPT OSS page, re-read on 1 November (15). SDK error classes and bounded retries with backoff (15). No public shared-inference SLA established (0). Shared inference is generally available (10).\n- Tencent Hy4 (46): Model reading for hy4 on Tencent Cloud TokenHub. Platform facts are the tencent-tokenhub listing's (checked 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. No public status page (0) and so no incident record to read (5 of 30). Per-model rate limits only in the console and DescribeModelQuota (8 of 15). Six 429 codes, Retry-After and backoff advice (13 of 15). The TokenHub SLA promises 99.5% a month, and Hy4 is Tencent's own model, so the third-party exclusion doesn't apply (10). Released as hy4 on 4 November, a separate id from hy4-preview, with no preview label (10). 0 + 5 + 8 + 13 + 10 + 10 = 46.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Cerebras Inference +20\n\n- Cerebras Inference (93): Public OpenAPI 3.1 (25), llms.txt and Markdown pages (10), documented capability and compatibility limits (16 of 20), typed inputs and constrained parameters (13 of 15), examples and error guidance (14 of 15), and API versions plus dated changelog (15).\n- Tencent Hy4 (73): Model reading for hy4 on Tencent Cloud TokenHub. Platform facts are the tencent-tokenhub listing's (checked 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. No OpenAPI file for inference; field pages for the OpenAI and Anthropic formats as TokenHub implements them (12 of 25). llms.txt with Markdown copies (10). The model list, updated 9 November, gives hy4's context, input and output limits and marks thinking, structured output, function calling, caching and image understanding; computer use, which Tencent's release names, isn't marked (13 of 20). Typed field pages (10 of 15). Examples in five languages and an error page of 30 codes (14 of 15). Dated release notes, with hy4 added on 4 November (14 of 15). 12 + 10 + 13 + 10 + 14 + 14 = 73.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Tencent Hy4 +15\n\n- Cerebras Inference (30): No machine payment protocol found in the reviewed API and billing docs (0). Public token prices (20). The $5 trial requires a verified payment method (0). Account creation and payment setup require a person (0). Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 20 is 30.\n- Tencent Hy4 (45): Model reading for hy4 on Tencent Cloud TokenHub. Platform facts are the tencent-tokenhub listing's (checked 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. No machine payment protocol (0). The price page, updated 9 November, lists ¥6 input, ¥0.3 cached and ¥18 output per million tokens, with Hy4 billed at 50% until 31 December 2026 (20). TokenHub's campaign of 1M free tokens per language model, read on 1 November, isn't confirmed for hy4 on the price page, so half (10 of 20, a judgement call). A person signs up with real-name verification (0). 0 + 20 + 10 + 0 = 30. Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 30 is 45.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Tencent Hy4 +8\n\n- Cerebras Inference (65): Dated changelog entry on 28 October 2026, adding five models to the Dedicated catalogue and documenting image inputs in tool messages and new reasoning controls (30). Seven dated changelog entries in the 90 days from 3 August, on 28 and 31 August, two on 3 September, 22 September, 9 October and 28 October (20). Support responsiveness not established (0). Official Python and TypeScript SDKs, both last released as 1.91.0 on 8 July 2026 (15). Runtime dependency health and CI were not audited (0).\n- Tencent Hy4 (73): Model reading for hy4 on Tencent Cloud TokenHub. Platform facts are the tencent-tokenhub listing's (checked 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Added on 4 November 2026 per the release notes; the model list and price page were updated on 9 November (30). Retirement notices of 21 to 33 days, no minimum written (7 of 12). Heavy retirement churn on the platform (3 of 8). Dated release notes and announcements, round-the-clock support (13 of 15). CLI replies not sampled (3 of 10). Control-plane SDKs and CLI, no inference SDK of its own (12 of 15). CLI runtime stated, CI not checked (5 of 10). 30 + 7 + 3 + 13 + 3 + 12 + 5 = 73. The model is a week old, so these lines are TokenHub's habits more than Hy4's record.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Cerebras Inference +8\n\n- Cerebras Inference (60): SDK is Apache-2.0, but the hosted cloud terms were not readable in this session (5 of 30). Privacy policy states no inference input/output retention but gives no fixed operational-log retention period (20 of 30). Dated deprecations and API-version migration guidance without a general minimum notice commitment found (10 of 20). Trust centre lists subprocessors and infrastructure controls, but full data-location details were not established (10 of 20).\n- Tencent Hy4 (52): Model reading for hy4 on Tencent Cloud TokenHub. Platform facts are the tencent-tokenhub listing's (checked 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Closed service under the TokenHub terms, but Tencent's release headline calls Hy4 open source while the weights and system card are only promised 'in the coming days', with no licence stated, and tencent/Hy4 didn't answer on Hugging Face on 11 November (14 of 30). Terms and FAQ agree inputs aren't used for training; the privacy policy renders only with JavaScript and wasn't read (15 of 30). Dated retirement notices and shutdown fields (13 of 20). Processing generally in mainland China for the China site, Singapore for the international one (13 of 20). Every benchmark in the release is Tencent's own or a partner's. 14 + 15 + 13 + 13 = 55.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Cerebras Inference | Tencent Hy4 | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 70 | 46 | Cerebras Inference +24 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 93 | 73 | Cerebras Inference +20 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 85 | 86 | Tencent Hy4 +1 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 70 | 71 | Tencent Hy4 +1 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 45 | Tencent Hy4 +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 65 | 73 | Tencent Hy4 +8 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 60 | 52 | Cerebras Inference +8 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **69.9 · B** | **64 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Cerebras Inference | Tencent Hy4 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Cerebras Systems Inc. | Tencent (Hy team) |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.cerebras.ai/v1` | no (local only) |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Paid | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary hosted service.

Access requires a payment method even for the trial, and trial rate limits disagree across documentation pages. Shared-model availability and dedicated-model availability differ.\n\n**Tencent Hy4.** Tencent's flagship model is on TokenHub as hy4, with a 1M-token context, image understanding, function calling and caching, at ¥6 input and ¥18 output per million tokens, half price until the end of 2026. The weights it is called open source for aren't published yet, and every benchmark is Tencent's own.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cerebras Inference\n\n1. Set CEREBRAS_API_KEY and use https://api.cerebras.ai/v1 with an OpenAI-compatible client.\n2. Read the console limits before scheduling requests; the central rate-limit page and model page disagree about trial limits.\n3. Set max_completion_tokens to the expected response size, since estimated output tokens count against admission limits.\n4. Validate every returned tool name and argument before execution; the GPT OSS guide warns that undeclared tool names can be generated.\n\n### Tencent Hy4\n\n1. Use model id hy4 on TokenHub's OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoints; hy4-preview is a separate, older model\n2. Keep input under 960K tokens and expect at most 64K output\n3. Reuse prompt prefixes: cached input is ¥0.3 against ¥6\n4. Check the price page for the end of the 50% discount on 31 December 2026 before budgeting\n5. Read rate limits from the console or DescribeModelQuota; the public docs don't give them for chat models\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cerebras Inference or Tencent Hy4?\n\nCerebras Inference scores 69.9 (B) on agent readiness against Tencent Hy4's 64 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Tencent Hy4 leads on payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Cerebras Inference and Tencent Hy4 need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cerebras Inference and Tencent Hy4 without installing anything?\n\nCerebras Inference has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cerebras.ai/v1. No hosted endpoint is listed for Tencent Hy4.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cerebras-inference-vs-hy4.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cerebras-inference-vs-hy4.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cerebras-inference\", \"b\": \"hy4\"}`.
