Hunyuan Pro

Cost & access

Hunyuan Pro is proprietary via Tencent. Typical billing: input + output tokens; ChatGPT-style subscriptions are separate from API access. With a 128K tokens context window, long PDFs or chat histories increase input tokens quickly—trim history or summarize older turns in production.

Functional understanding

• Tencent cloud LLM family.
• Modalities: text · License: Proprietary · Released 2024-05-14.
• Best-fit workflows for this model:
• • Drafting, summarization, and structured extraction from long documents.

Technical foundation

• Tencent reports Undisclosed parameters; training data: Undisclosed.
• Context: 128K tokens. Open weights: no.
• Hunyuan Pro is positioned as a general-purpose model in the Tencent lineup.

First API call

Follow Tencent's official SDK for Hunyuan Pro; use model id "hunyuan-pro" from their docs.

# See https://example.com/hunyuan-pro
# Model id: hunyuan-pro

Important technical topics

• Prompting Hunyuan Pro: be explicit about output format. Weak: "Analyze this." Better: "Return JSON with fields id, total, date for Tencent billing data."
• Temperature: use 0–0.3 for extraction and compliance on Hunyuan Pro; 0.7–1.0 for brainstorming.
• Tokens: Hunyuan Pro bills by tokens (~¾ word each). Undisclosed parameters affect capability; your bill is driven by context length and call volume.
• Context window (128K tokens): everything in one request—system prompt, tools, RAG chunks, and history—must fit. Truncate or summarize when approaching the limit for Hunyuan Pro.

Real enterprise patterns

• RAG with Hunyuan Pro: retrieve from your vector DB, cite sources in the prompt.
• Tool calling: define JSON schemas; let Hunyuan Pro request functions, not free-form SQL.
• Eval suite: regression prompts before each model or prompt change.
• Cost routing: default to Hunyuan Pro for hard tasks; smaller sibling model for triage.

Production & security

• Secrets: never commit keys for Hunyuan Pro; use vault + per-environment rotation.
• PII: mask before inference; log redacted prompts only.
• Observability: trace id per request; log model=hunyuan-pro, tokens in/out, latency.
• Rate limits: handle Tencent 429/5xx with exponential backoff and circuit breakers.
• Guardrails: schema-validate JSON; block disallowed topics; cross-check numbers against source docs.

Mini projects with this model

• Support copilot: Hunyuan Pro drafts replies from KB snippets.
• Contract clause extractor with human approval.
• Weekly metrics narrative from SQL + CSV exports.
• Agent that files expenses from receipt photos (if multimodal).

Suggested stack
