About Hy4

Hy4 is Tencent Hunyuan's flagship model in its general release, following Hy4 Preview. Tencent released it on November 4, 2026. It adds visual understanding for the first time, with fine-grained image processing, complex chart analysis, and mathematical visual reasoning across documents and multiple images. It also adds computer use for command-line and graphical interfaces, alongside tool calling and reasoning.

Where it works well

  • Visual understanding is new in Hy4: Tencent describes fine-grained image processing, complex chart analysis, and mathematical visual reasoning.
  • It handles documents and several images in one task, which suits report pages, slide decks, and before-and-after comparisons.
  • Computer use for command-line and graphical interfaces lets an agent work in a terminal or from what is on screen.
  • Tool calling and reasoning are supported, and Tencent reports lower hallucination than Hy4 Preview.

When to choose another model

  • Visual understanding and computer use debut in this release, so test them on your own screens and documents before an agent runs unattended.
  • Tencent has announced the weights and a system card for later, so documentation beyond its launch materials is limited today.
  • Tencent plans a cheaper Hy4 Flash, which may suit cost-sensitive, high-volume work better once it is released.

Use cases

Best for
  • Reasoning
  • Vision
  • Chart and report reading

    Ask questions about a complex chart, a scanned report page, or several pages at once, and get answers tied to what the images show.

  • Math problems from diagrams

    Work through geometry or physics problems given as pictures, using visual reasoning together with step-by-step reasoning.

  • Command-line agents

    Let an agent run shell commands, read their output, and fix a failing build or script through a series of tool calls.

  • Screen-driven task automation

    Have an agent read a screenshot of an application and decide the next entry or click in a repetitive workflow, such as filling a form.

Prompt examples

Here are two charts from our quarterly deck. Compare the trends, point out where they disagree, and list what to check in the source data.

This photo shows a geometry problem with a labeled triangle. Solve it step by step and state the answer last.

Run the test suite, read the failing output, and fix the first failure. Explain the change in two sentences.

This model has conditional pricing. Monthly token totals alone cannot produce a reliable estimate; use the detailed pricing for the request specification, cache, and applicable time window.
