Choosing between GPT-6 Sol (Max) and Tencent Hy4 also means choosing between OpenAI and Tencent. What separates them most is responsiveness; GPT-6 Sol Max takes 91 seconds to produce its first token, Tencent Hy4 2.4 seconds. All numbers are the catalogue's recorded values; nobody ran either model by hand for this page.

Throughput and time to first token

GPT-6 Sol Max generates about 127 tokens per second and Tencent Hy4 about 94 tokens per second. GPT-6 Sol Max is ahead by 36% on throughput. Before any text appears, GPT-6 Sol Max takes 91 seconds and Tencent Hy4 2.4 seconds. The faster writer, GPT-6 Sol Max, gives away too much at the start to win on time: counting the first-token wait, Tencent Hy4 finishes first for any reply shorter than about 32,000 tokens. A first-token wait of that length suits background work better than live conversation.

Add the two numbers up for a 1,000-token reply and Tencent Hy4 finishes first: 99 seconds for GPT-6 Sol Max, 13 seconds for Tencent Hy4.

Running costs

Per million tokens, GPT-6 Sol Max charges $2.00 for input and $10.00 for output, while Tencent Hy4 charges $0.834 and $2.501. That makes Tencent Hy4's output 75% cheaper.

For a sample workload of 1 million input tokens and 200,000 output tokens, GPT-6 Sol Max would cost $4.00 and Tencent Hy4 $1.33, a difference of $2.67. Scale it up to a chat app with 50,000 sessions of 800 input and 300 output tokens and the bill is $230 for GPT-6 Sol Max against $70.88 for Tencent Hy4.

GPT-6 Sol Max leads on the intelligence index

The catalogue puts GPT-6 Sol Max at 44.2 and Tencent Hy4 at 34.6 on its intelligence index. This is a substantial lead, not a near miss. Put another way, Tencent Hy4 would need 28% more on this index to draw level.

Among 109 active scored models, GPT-6 Sol Max sits 26th and Tencent Hy4 42nd.

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

Value for money

Dividing the blended price by the intelligence index gives a rough cost per point: $0.090 for GPT-6 Sol Max and $0.036 for Tencent Hy4, per million tokens. GPT-6 Sol Max costs 2.5 times as much per point, which is the price of its lead.

Which is newer

Tencent Hy4 arrived on November 3, 2026, 42 days after GPT-6 Sol Max (September 22, 2026). That is close enough to count them as the same generation.
