This matchup crosses tiers: GPT-6.1 Sol (Max) from OpenAI against Tencent Hy4 from Tencent. The headline gap is on the intelligence index, where GPT-6.1 Sol Max scores 54.6 and Tencent Hy4 34.6. This page is written automatically from catalogue numbers only: benchmark scores, list prices and measured speed.

Benchmark scores

The catalogue puts GPT-6.1 Sol Max at 54.6 and Tencent Hy4 at 34.6 on its intelligence index. The difference is large enough that the lower-scoring model has to win on cost or speed to stay in the running. In relative terms, GPT-6.1 Sol Max scores 58% higher.

For context, that places GPT-6.1 Sol Max 8th and Tencent Hy4 42nd out of 109 scored models still on offer.

Neither model has a separate coding or math index recorded yet, so those narrower comparisons will have to wait for more data.

Speed and latency

Measured output speed is 60 tokens per second for GPT-6.1 Sol Max and 94 tokens per second for Tencent Hy4. Tencent Hy4 is ahead by 57% on throughput. Time to first token is 5.4 minutes for GPT-6.1 Sol Max and 2.4 seconds for Tencent Hy4. In an interactive app, Tencent Hy4 will feel noticeably more responsive. Waits that long are felt on every chat-style request, though they matter less for batch jobs.

Put together, a 400-token answer would take about 5.5 minutes from GPT-6.1 Sol Max and 6.6 seconds from Tencent Hy4, counting the first-token wait.

Generation gap

Tencent Hy4 arrived on November 3, 2026, 35 days after GPT-6.1 Sol Max (September 29, 2026). That is close enough to count them as the same generation.

Token pricing and a sample bill

Per million tokens, GPT-6.1 Sol Max charges $2.00 for input and $10.00 for output, while Tencent Hy4 charges $0.834 and $2.501. GPT-6.1 Sol Max costs 4 times as much per output token.

Take 1 million input tokens and 200,000 output tokens: that comes to $4.00 on GPT-6.1 Sol Max and $1.33 on Tencent Hy4. For classifying 100,000 short messages at 150 input tokens and 5 output tokens each, Tencent Hy4 would come in 61% lower: $35.00 for GPT-6.1 Sol Max against $13.76 for Tencent Hy4. Blended at three input tokens per output token, the effective rates are $4.00 for GPT-6.1 Sol Max and $1.251 for Tencent Hy4.

Cost per point of intelligence

Dividing the blended price by the intelligence index gives a rough cost per point: $0.073 for GPT-6.1 Sol Max and $0.036 for Tencent Hy4, per million tokens. Tencent Hy4 delivers each index point for 51% less; whether GPT-6.1 Sol Max's extra 20.0 points are worth the premium depends on how often your tasks need them.
