Calibrated · measured on the vendor's tokenizer · 2026-06-10 Auto-counts as you type

Counts use a chars-per-token calibration measured on the vendor's own published tokenizer (tencent/Hunyuan-A13B-Instruct, 2026-06-10). English prose is typically within a few percent; code and non-Latin scripts tokenize heavier. For billing-exact counts use the vendor's count-tokens API.

Hunyuan A13B API pricing FAQ.

Practical Hunyuan A13B pricing questions, with Tencent's public CNY row separated from calculator assumptions.

Q · 01 What is Hunyuan A13B priced at today? +
Tencent Cloud's official Hunyuan pricing page lists Y0.50/M input and Y2.00/M output for Hunyuan A13B. AI//COST stores that as $0.070/M and $0.2976/M using the Y6.7209/USD conversion rate.
Q · 02 Does Tencent publish a cache-hit discount for A13B? +
No. The public pricing row for Hunyuan A13B does not show a separate prompt-cache or cache-hit rate. This page therefore treats cached input the same as normal input instead of fabricating a discount.
Q · 03 Why does this page use 224K context? +
Tencent's official product overview currently lists Hunyuan A13B with 224K maximum input and 32K maximum output. The pricing page only shows the token rates, so this page pairs the billing row with the current product-overview context limit.
Q · 04 How does A13B compare with TurboS? +
Hunyuan TurboS costs $0.119/M input and $0.2976/M output, so A13B is cheaper on input but matches TurboS on output. A13B is the better fit when you want a lower-input-cost Tencent paid row with a larger context ceiling.
Q · 05 Is A13B the cheapest paid Tencent row? +
Yes - and as of August 2026 the gap widened, because Tencent dropped Hunyuan Lite (the free row), TurboS and T1 from its price lists during the move to TokenHub. A13B is now the cheapest Tencent text row you can still sign up for, and there is no $0 row above it. The step up from here is Hy3.
Q · 06 Does this page include tax or enterprise discounts? +
No. AI//COST stores Tencent's public pre-tax list price and converts it to USD for cross-vendor comparison. Contract rebates, private discounts, and region-specific billing are outside this page.
