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- Jais 3 (90): Self-hosted rule. Apache-2.0 weights with nothing to buy and no hosted option from the makers (20). Free to run with no card (20). Downloads are ungated and anonymous, so an agent can fetch the weights with no sign-up (20). No payment protocol (0). 20 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 60. Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 60 is 90.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Tencent Hy4 +40\n\n- Tencent Hy4 (71): 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. Bearer keys limited by model, service, IP range and token quota, long-lived with no rotation (26 of 30). The terms say inputs aren't used to train Tencent Cloud's own models, and Hy4 is first party, so no third party's terms apply (14 of 20). Retention only as long as the service needs, no periods (7 of 15). Per-call audit logs and optional full logs to the customer's CLS (14 of 15). No security.txt; Tencent's TSRC bounty covers Tencent Cloud; no certification checked (10 of 20). 26 + 14 + 7 + 14 + 10 = 71.\n- Jais 3 (31): Read as software the owner runs. No account or key, ungated downloads, and server authentication is the owner's to add (12 of 30). A model that calls whatever tools the operator wires in. The cards rule high-stakes decisions without human oversight out of scope, but nothing in the model or template enforces approval (6 of 20). The template renders tool results in their own `tool` role, but string results go in as raw text (only non-string content is serialised with `tojson`), no escaping of special-token sequences in caller or tool text was found, and no injection guidance or results are published (4 of 15). No call log of its own. Visibility depends on the serving stack (5 of 15). Every launch command passes `--trust-remote-code`, so `modeling_k2_horizon.py` from the repository runs on the host. We read it and found only torch and transformers imports. No security.txt on ifm.ai (404 on 17 October, not re-read), no security contact on the cards and no safety evaluation found. Since 25 October the cards link a technical report on ifm.ai, which answered a Cloudflare bot check on 4 November, so what it covers is unread (4 of 20). 12 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 4 = 31.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Tencent Hy4 +21\n\n- Tencent Hy4 (86): 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. Function calling is marked for hy4 in the model list (18 of 20). Structured output marked (13 of 15). Cache-hit price published, ¥0.3 against ¥6 input (14 of 15). 1M-token context with 960K input and 64K output (15). Batch at half price covered Hy3 and Hy4 preview on 1 November; whether it covers hy4 wasn't re-read (3 of 10). OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs with a changed base URL, plus Tencent Cloud's SDK and CLI for the control plane (8 of 10). Errors with code, messages, upstream status and request ID (15 of 15). 18 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 3 + 8 + 15 = 86.\n- Jais 3 (65): Model reading of the checklist (tool use, structured output, caching, context, throughput, defaults and SDKs, errors). OpenAI-format tools come back as `tool_calls` in three selectable wire formats, with a multi-turn loop example. Forced `tool_choice` and parallel calls aren't documented (15 of 20). JSON mode and schemas only through each runtime's guided decoding, not documented by the makers (5 of 15). Prefix caching is the runtime's, and SGLang's page covers HiCache (7 of 10). 524,288 tokens on five of six models, 131,072 on the 0.9B (14 of 15). Uno adapters claim 2.15 times faster decoding for 0.9B to 32B but need IFM's own engine. SGLang lists n-gram speculative decoding and PD disaggregation. No batch mode of its own (7 of 10). Any OpenAI SDK works against a local server, and the 0.9B to 7B fit one GPU. But the cards ask for high effort and 32,768 output tokens on every request, the template inserts an identity system prompt when none is sent, and earlier assistant turns must carry a string thinking field (8 of 15). The template raises named errors for bad options, string-encoded tool arguments and malformed schemas. Server errors are the runtime's (9 of 15). 15 + 5 + 7 + 14 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 65.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Tencent Hy4 +19\n\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- Jais 3 (54): Read for a model the owner serves. No specification of its own. The contract is the Jinja chat template, which validates tool JSON Schemas (required fields must exist in properties) and rejects unknown options, plus the OpenAI-compatible servers in vLLM and SGLang with the `k2_horizon` parsers (10 of 25). The cards are Markdown on Hugging Face, and SGLang's docs have an llms.txt, but no llms.txt or Markdown docs from IFM were found and ifm.ai couldn't be read (5 of 10). Each card states intended use, four out-of-scope uses, limitations and per-size serving advice (15 of 20). `reasoning_effort` and `tool_call_format` are enums enforced with errors, and tools take JSON Schema. The 375B card describes `low` as no reasoning and omits `medium`, which the template accepts, and structured output isn't documented (10 of 15). Python examples for a reasoning call and a tool loop, commands for five runtimes, and named template errors, but no error reference for a served model (11 of 15). No changelog or version scheme. Training-stage branches and public commit history (3 of 15). 10 + 5 + 15 + 10 + 11 + 3 = 54.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Tencent Hy4 +11\n\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- Jais 3 (62): Read for an open-weight model released on 15 October 2026. The last change to the template or code was on 15 October, within 30 days. The cards gained a technical report link on 25 October and a citation update on 27 October, which change no file a runtime loads (30). One family release, with dated builds before it (FP8 from 29 September, MLX from 1 October, GGUF on 12 and 13 October) and template fixes on 14 and 15 October, but no deprecation notices or successor history to judge. K2 Horizon came on 1 September and Jais 2 in December 2025 (10 of 20, the model reading of this line, held). One outside question, on MoVA-36B-A4B on 26 October, had no reply on 4 November, and IFM's GitHub repositories weren't read. The template fixes match the problem IFM's MLX cards describe (7 of 25, held). Recipes in vLLM's and SGLang's own docs, K2 Horizon support in llama.cpp's tagged builds from b11454 and FP8, GGUF and MLX builds from IFM, but no native mlx-lm support (11 of 15). Current dependencies (Transformers 5.13 to 5.15, vLLM 0.30), with no CI visible (4 of 10). 30 + 10 + 7 + 11 + 4 = 62.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Tencent Hy4 | Jais 3 | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 46 | 48 | Jais 3 +2 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 73 | 54 | Tencent Hy4 +19 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 86 | 65 | Tencent Hy4 +21 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 71 | 31 | Tencent Hy4 +40 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 45 | 90 | Jais 3 +45 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 73 | 62 | Tencent Hy4 +11 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 52 | 55 | Jais 3 +3 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **64 · B** | **55.9 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Tencent Hy4 | Jais 3 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Tencent (Hy team) | Institute of Foundation Models (MBZUAI) and Inception42 |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | None |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Hosted model under the Tencent Cloud TokenHub terms.

The weights it is called open source for aren't published yet, and every benchmark is Tencent's own.\n\n**Jais 3.** Jais 3 runs on the owner's hardware through OpenAI-compatible servers in vLLM and SGLang, with tool calls, three reasoning levels and a 512K context, from a 2.2 GB 0.9B model to a 758 GB 375B one. The weights download without sign-up under Apache-2.0, but every launch command trusts remote code and no security contact is published.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Jais 3\n\n1. Start vLLM or SGLang with `--reasoning-parser k2_horizon`, and add `--tool-call-parser k2_horizon` (vLLM also `--enable-auto-tool-choice`) for tools, or tool calls come back as raw text\n2. Pass `reasoning_effort` (`high`, `medium` or `low`) and `tool_call_format` inside `chat_template_kwargs`. Other values return a template error\n3. Send each earlier assistant turn back with `reasoning_content` as a string, even an empty one. A missing or null thinking field makes the template raise an error\n4. Send your own system message, or set `default_system_prompt` to an empty string. Without one the template inserts an identity prompt naming IFM, Inception42 and Cerebras\n5. Budget at least 32,768 output tokens at `high` effort, which the cards recommend for every request\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Tencent Hy4 or Jais 3?\n\nTencent Hy4 scores 64 (B) on agent readiness against Jais 3's 55.9 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
