How to try Hy4 preview in Whizi

Whizi puts Hy4 preview in the same model picker as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, so there is no separate Tencent account or API key to set up. Pick a plan on the pricing page, open a new chat, choose Hy4 preview in the model picker and send your first message.

Each message costs 3 credits, whatever its length. If a question turns out to suit another model better, switch in the same conversation and the thread carries across. See switching models mid-conversation.

What Hy4 preview costs

What it costs inside Whizi

Whizi meters messages in credits rather than tokens, and Hy4 preview is charged at 3 credits per message. The cost does not change with the length of your message or the length of the answer, so a one line question and a long document analysis cost the same.
