Tencent Hunyuan Hy4 hits quota on day one; inference cluster scaled 10x

KEY FACTS

Tencent Hunyuan Hy4 launched on the WorkBuddy platform on November 4, 2026.
On the first day, a large number of user tasks hit the free quota limit.
Officials urgently scaled the Hy4 inference cluster tenfold and raised the free trial quota.
The free trial period for Hy3 on WorkBuddy has been extended to November 15, 2026, 23:59.
Officials recommend that non-urgent requests be shifted to off-peak evening hours.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Being overwhelmed on launch day shows that real user demand for strong domestic open-source models far exceeds expectations. Even after a tenfold expansion, a quota cap remains, exposing that high-end compute is still a hard constraint. For developers, short-term experience fluctuations are inevitable, but Hy4 will soon open-source its weights, and the ecosystem positioning battle has only just begun, making it worth betting on early.
