A user compared Tencent's Hunyuan Hy4 with GLM 5.3 on OpenRouter. He admits his capability comparison is 'just vibes,' but says Hy4 is significantly cheaper for him: it uses fewer output tokens even at high effort settings and has a very good cache hit rate on OpenRouter, which is why he keeps choosing it. His interlocutor notes Hy4 seems about the same size as GLM 5.3 and questions whether pricing is really a big advantage.
