--- title: "Tencent Hunyuan API | Ethical Stack" url: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/tencent-hunyuan/ catalog_version: f6baff2119d0e9158520da7fbe4232011dac79f25bd08757436d7a1dbd593db2 --- # Tencent Hunyuan API Tencent Cloud exposes Hunyuan chat completions through SDKs and an OpenAI-compatible API, with model-specific billing and account concurrency limits. Canonical profile: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/tencent-hunyuan/ Scope: Tencent Cloud Hunyuan chat-completions and related generation APIs; consumer Yuanbao use is excluded. Published overall: 2.8; 4/6 dimensions rated. Round the equal-weight mean of available numerical ratings to one decimal; require at least four of six for an overall score. BDS status stays outside the mean; for eligible profiles, a boycott target caps the final score at 2/10 and a pressure target subtracts one point (minimum 1). Not listed and not checked do not adjust the score. ## Energy practices Finding: 1/10 Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/tencent-hunyuan/#energy This grades published energy practices, not the service’s actual footprint. Reason: 1 + 0 reporting + 0 electricity + 0 controls = 1/10. This grades documented practices and transparency. Argument: The reviewed materials define the Hunyuan cloud inference API and its functions but provide no service-specific reporting on electricity, emissions, water, sourcing, or resource-reduction controls. Missing measurements do not establish high consumption. Type: argument; confidence: low Scope (dimension): Tencent Cloud Hunyuan chat-completions and related generation APIs; consumer Yuanbao use is excluded. Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded Unknowns: No comparable service-level electricity, emissions, water, location mix, or independently reviewed footprint is established in these sources. ```json { "method": "practices-transparency-v1", "scope": "Tencent Cloud Hunyuan chat-completions and related generation APIs; consumer Yuanbao use is excluded.", "components": { "disclosure": { "score": 0, "reason": "No service-specific operating boundary or footprint disclosure appears in the reviewed product material.", "sourceUrls": [ "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007", "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/105701", "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/api/1729/101848" ] }, "electricity": { "score": 0, "reason": "No route-specific clean-electricity sourcing or hourly power evidence is established.", "sourceUrls": [ "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007", "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/105701", "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/api/1729/101848" ] }, "demand": { "score": 0, "reason": "No route-specific measured efficiency or documented resource-reduction control is established.", "sourceUrls": [ "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007", "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/105701", "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/api/1729/101848" ] } }, "actualImpactMeasured": false } ``` - [Hunyuan OpenAI-compatible API examples and migration notice](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) - [Hunyuan chat API reference](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/105701) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) - [Hunyuan API overview](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/api/1729/101848) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) ## Training data Finding: Depends on the model Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/tencent-hunyuan/#training-rights The hosted route does not identify one fixed model and corpus. Reason: Training-data rights depend on the exact model and version selected through this hosted route; no single corpus assessment applies. Argument: This Hunyuan cloud inference API can expose multiple models or change its model selection over time. The product page is not a source-specific training-data and permissions record for every model served through the route.

Reason: Not enough route-specific evidence to assign a numeric privacy rating. Argument: The official materials establish this Hunyuan cloud inference API exists, but the reviewed sources do not establish a complete prompt-retention, training, deletion, and human-review policy for this exact route. The account, region, and enabled features may change what data is handled. Type: argument; confidence: low Scope (profile): Tencent Cloud Hunyuan chat-completions and related generation APIs; consumer Yuanbao use is excluded. Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded Unknowns: Prompt retention, training use, human review, deletion timing, and regional processing for this exact route remain unestablished. - [Hunyuan OpenAI-compatible API examples and migration notice](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) - [Hunyuan chat API reference](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/105701) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) - [Hunyuan API overview](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/api/1729/101848) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) ## Openness Finding: 2/10 Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/tencent-hunyuan/#openness This is a hosted product route; its interface documentation does not disclose the hosted model implementation or grant access to its weights. Reason: A hosted interface is documented, but source code, training artifacts, and route-specific downloadable weights are not established in these sources. Argument: The reviewed Hunyuan cloud inference API materials describe a hosted service, without publishing the service implementation or checkpoint weights for this route. Its openness rating concerns access to this product surface, not any separately released model family. Type: argument; confidence: medium Scope (profile): Tencent Cloud Hunyuan chat-completions and related generation APIs; consumer Yuanbao use is excluded. Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded Unknowns: The exact model checkpoint and any route-specific release artifacts may change; this rating covers the named service route. - [Hunyuan OpenAI-compatible API examples and migration notice](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) - [Hunyuan chat API reference](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/105701) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) - [Hunyuan API overview](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/api/1729/101848) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) ## Worker protections Finding: 1/10 Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/tencent-hunyuan/#labour No model-specific worker safeguards are established for Tencent in the reviewed model sources. Reason: 1 base + 0 conditions + 0 worker voice/remedy + 0 evidence/follow-through = 1/10; this is a disclosure finding, not proof of abuse. Argument: The model release pages describe weights and technical properties, not conditions for employees, data annotators, evaluators, moderators, or infrastructure contractors. This is a source-bounded disclosure gap, not evidence of mistreatment. This entry carries the same developer/operator finding to Tencent Hunyuan API; it does not establish that this product was deployed under every cited relationship. Type: argument; confidence: low Scope (dimension): Tencent: the documented developer/operator record, not proof of deployment of Tencent Hunyuan API. Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded Unknowns: Worker locations, pay and conditions, supplier coverage, voice mechanisms, labor audits, and remediation outcomes are not established by these model-release sources. ```json { "method": "worker-safeguards-evidence-v1", "entity": "models/hunyuan-a13b", "company": "", "scope": "The named developer or operator", "components": { "conditions": { "score": 0, "reason": "No worker-level conditions or supply-chain safeguards are established in this model-family source set.

Reason: 7 base + 0 safeguard adjustment = 7/10 (0 of 9 safeguard points; every 3 adds 1). No military relationship was established in the cited sources. This ranks above known defense ties without claiming a verified clean record. Argument: The reviewed Tencent Hunyuan API materials describe user access, features, or account rules but do not establish a military customer, military deployment, or a model-specific restriction on military use. This route finding does not resolve the wider company’s government work. Type: argument; confidence: low Scope (profile): Tencent Cloud Hunyuan chat-completions and related generation APIs; consumer Yuanbao use is excluded. Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded Unknowns: A separate, current company-level review is needed for defense contracts; downstream deployments and any customer-specific safeguards are not established here. ```json { "method": "military-ties-priority-v2", "entity": "providers/tencent-hunyuan", "company": "", "scope": "The named developer or operator", "components": { "restrictions": { "score": 0, "reason": "The cited route terms do not establish a specific restriction on military or surveillance use.", "sourceUrls": [ "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007" ] }, "oversight": { "score": 0, "reason": "The cited route terms do not establish route-level enforcement of military end-use restrictions.", "sourceUrls": [ "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007" ] }, "transparency": { "score": 0, "reason": "The cited route material does not disclose a military customer or deployment for this route.", "sourceUrls": [ "https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007" ] } }, "disclosureLimited": true, "relationship": "not-established", "relationshipReason": "The cited Tencent Hunyuan API documentation covers product/API terms, but does not identify a military customer, deployment, or end-use restriction.", "score": 7, "baseScore": 7, "safeguardPoints": 0, "safeguardAdjustment": 0, "rawScore": 7, "cap": null } ``` - [Hunyuan OpenAI-compatible API examples and migration notice](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1729/111007) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) ## BDS targets Finding: Not listed Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/tencent-hunyuan/#israel-palestine Tencent is not named in the two official BNC campaign lists checked. This is a limited list check, not BDS approval. Reason: Campaign category, excluded from numerical scoring. Argument: The official BNC consumer boycott/pressure guide and No Tech campaign page do not name Tencent among their current targets. BDS uses selective campaigns, so absence from these lists is neutral and does not establish a clean record or approval. This entry carries the same developer/operator finding to Tencent Hunyuan API; it does not establish that this product was deployed under every cited relationship. Type: argument; confidence: medium Scope (dimension): Tencent: the documented developer/operator record, not proof of deployment of Tencent Hunyuan API. Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded Unknowns: This check covers only named targets in the two cited BNC campaigns; it does not cover all BDS campaigns, local groups, investments, suppliers, or downstream hosts. Lists and ownership may change. - [BNC Guide to BDS Boycott and Priority Targeting](https://bdsmovement.net/Guide-to-BDS-Boycott) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) - [BNC No Tech for Oppression, Apartheid or Genocide](https://bdsmovement.net/no-tech-oppression-apartheid-or-genocide) (primary; checked 2026-10-24) ## Reading the evidence - Assessments are provisional editorial judgments. Cite the profile and the underlying sources, and retain confidence, scope and unknowns. - Unknown, not-applicable and model-dependent are different states. Missing evidence does not establish good or bad conduct. - Company-level evidence does not establish use of a particular product or model. Account plan, model, host and route can change an assessment. - Energy scores describe documented practices and transparency, not measured request emissions. Zero component points can mean an evidence gap. - Published overall scores require at least four of six numerical dimensions. Preserve coverage and BDS adjustments; BDS itself is categorical. - No named BDS target found is limited to the reviewed campaign sources and is not approval. Personalized priorities do not change the published overall score. - Review and source-check dates describe the research, not this deployment. Fetch current primary sources when the decision requires current verification. Methodology: https://ethicalstack.ai/methodology/
