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- OpenRouter (72): Closed service with clear terms, SDKs Apache-2.0 (15). Data collection page and privacy policy agree that content isn't stored unless you opt in, but training defaults for upstream providers sit on other pages we didn't read (15 of 30). An API versioning page states how deprecations are announced (in the changelog, with the field or endpoint marked deprecated in the reference) and the changelog dates each one, but no notice period is promised (12 of 20). Each provider's data policy is shown per endpoint per the listing, and EU or US in-region routing is part of the Business plan. No subprocessor list checked (15 of 20).\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: OpenRouter +17\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- OpenRouter (90): Public OpenAPI document at openrouter.ai/docs/openapi/openapi.yaml (25). llms.txt with Markdown twins (10). Reference not read in full (15 of 20). Structured outputs documented, enforcement depends on the upstream model (10 of 15). Errors and debugging page and examples throughout (15). An API changelog generated from OpenAPI diffs on every release, with a human-reviewed Breaking section and migration notes, dated entries to 29 October 2026, and an API versioning page (15).\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: OpenRouter +15\n\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- OpenRouter (60): No machine payment protocol found in the docs index. Credits can be bought in USDC through Coinbase, but calls draw on a prepaid balance (0). Per-token prices published per model without a login (20). 25 or more free models with no card, per the listing (20). Browser sign-up for the first key (0). Management API keys and OAuth PKCE mint keys in code, but only after a person has an account. Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 40 is 60.\n\n### Reliability: OpenRouter +9\n\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- OpenRouter (55): Status page at status.openrouter.ai, which rendered only in a browser with its feed and JSON paths answering 403 on 1 and 2 October. On 1 November its robots.txt answered 403 AccessDenied, so the host is treated as blocked and the page was not read (10 of 20, per the 2 October check, and 5 for the incident line, no readable history). The limits page gives 20 requests a minute on free models, 50 a day below $10 of lifetime purchases and 1,000 a day above, no platform cap on paid models, and a key endpoint that reports what's left (15). The errors page says 429, 503 and 402 responses from the in-flight spending budget carry `Retry-After`, tells clients to honour it, and says the official SDKs already do (15). The pricing page lists 'Contractual SLAs' for Enterprise without publishing terms, which we count as no published SLA (0). The chat completions API is GA (10). Model fallbacks through a `models` list soften an upstream outage, which this checklist doesn't score.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: OpenRouter +9\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- OpenRouter (82): Model reading. The TypeScript and Python SDKs were tagged on 31 October 2026, v1.5.33 and v1.3.106, and the API changelog's newest entry is 29 October (30). The versioning page says breaking changes are reviewed by a person and published in the changelog with migration notes, and that removing a deprecated part of the API follows that process, but it states no notice period. The 25 July Responses GA entry still promises a sunset date before the beta aliases go (6 of 12). Several removals of OpenRouter's own surface in the 90 days from 3 August, each published the day it shipped, `sleep_after_seconds` and the `ncompass` provider on 8 September, the `/interns` endpoints on 23 October, and the Python SDK's `end_users` namespace in 1.3.70 on 21 October (4 of 8). Dated changelog for every release that changes the spec, support not checked (12 of 15). SDK issue replies not sampled (5 of 10). Official SDKs in TypeScript and Python (and Go, not re-read on 1 November), generated from the OpenAPI document with Speakeasy, 242 and 279 tags since 3 August (15). Each SDK repository runs PR validation and publish workflows, per the 2 October check (10).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Tencent Hy4 | OpenRouter | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 46 | 55 | OpenRouter +9 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 73 | 90 | OpenRouter +17 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 86 | 85 | Tencent Hy4 +1 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 71 | 67 | Tencent Hy4 +4 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 45 | 60 | OpenRouter +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 73 | 82 | OpenRouter +9 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 52 | 72 | OpenRouter +20 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -3 | |\n| **Total** | | **64 · B** | **69.1 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Tencent Hy4 | OpenRouter |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model router |\n| Vendor | Tencent (Hy team) | OpenRouter |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\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**OpenRouter.** Public OpenAPI document, llms.txt with Markdown twins, and a changelog generated from the spec on every release, with SDKs in TypeScript and Python tagged on 31 October 2026. Breaking changes ship with migration notes on the day, with no notice period. No machine payment, and USDC top-ups go to a prepaid balance.\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### OpenRouter\n\n1. Set `provider.data_collection: \"deny\"` or `provider.zdr: true` when the prompt holds anything private\n2. Pass a `models` list so a failed provider falls through to the next one\n3. Honour `Retry-After` on 429 and 503, and check the stream body for errors even on a 200\n4. Set `max_price` so a routed request can't land on an expensive provider\n5. Free models allow 50 requests a day until $10 of credit has been bought. Check `GET /api/v1/key` for what's left\n6. On `/messages` streams, stop at `message_stop` or an `error` event. No `[DONE]` frame is sent since 21 October 2026\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Tencent Hy4 or OpenRouter?\n\nOpenRouter scores 69.1 (B) on agent readiness against Tencent Hy4's 64 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Tencent Hy4 and OpenRouter need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Tencent Hy4 and OpenRouter without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Tencent Hy4.
