Head-to-head comparison
Nex-N2.5-Pro (Nex AGI) and Hy4 preview (Tencent) compared on the ModelCap Index, API price, context window, provider availability, weight access and every public benchmark board they share. Figures are the same ones shown on the live rankings; nothing here is a hidden score.
Snapshot as of 9 September 2026
As of 9 September 2026, Nex-N2.5-Pro holds the stronger ModelCap Index position (#16 vs #24); Nex-N2.5-Pro is cheaper per output token (Free/1M vs $2.50/1M); and Hy4 preview offers the longer context window (1M vs 262K tokens).
Evidence: global-corpus-prior over 180 held-out anchors (10%); launch card against 8 resolved peers on 8 rows (90%); exceeds every named peer on 1 of 8 rows; optimism haircut 0 from cross-lab-probe; shrunk 2.5 toward the measured corpus · 9 reported rows against measured corpus ladders (43%); publisher-corpus-prior over 180 held-out anchors (11%); opens above measured predecessor tencent/hy3 on same-family ordering evidence (38%); 1 specialist-board observation at 2.5% support (9%); shrunk 1.2 toward the measured corpus. Prices are the lowest listed API offer per million tokens observed on the OpenRouter catalogue.
Scores are the sources' own published figures for each model's best evaluated configuration; ModelCap never re-runs a benchmark.

Nex-N2.5-Pro ranks higher on the ModelCap Index as of 9 September 2026: #16 against #24. That is a capability ranking built from public benchmark evidence with published uncertainty; whether it is "better" for you also depends on price, context and where you can run it. Their published uncertainty intervals overlap, so the rank difference alone does not establish a reliable capability advantage for your workload.
Nex-N2.5-Pro is cheaper on output tokens: Free/1M against $2.50/1M. Input tokens are Free/1M for Nex-N2.5-Pro and $0.834/1M for Hy4 preview. Prices are the lowest listed API offer ModelCap observed, in USD per million tokens. For 1,000 requests with 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each (2M input + 0.5M output), the listed-rate estimate is $0 for Nex-N2.5-Pro versus $2.92 for Hy4 preview. Nex-N2.5-Pro costs 100.0% less in this scenario. This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the selected endpoint before budgeting.
Hy4 preview has the larger context window: 1M tokens against 262K.
The two models do not share a coding benchmark board on ModelCap yet, so no head-to-head coding score is published; the ModelCap Index position is the closest overall signal.
Nex-N2.5-Pro: Open weights. Hy4 preview: Open weights. Open weights mean the checkpoint can be downloaded and self-hosted under its licence; API-only models are available solely through hosted endpoints.
ModelCap currently lists 1 API provider for Nex-N2.5-Pro and 1 for Hy4 preview, from the OpenRouter catalogue snapshot the site serves; each model page lists the providers and their prices.
Every figure comes from the sealed ModelCap dataset published 9 September 2026; the page re-renders within a minute of each data refresh, and the ModelCap Index positions are the same ones shown on the live rankings.
