GPT-5.4 vs Hy3
Hy3 costs 28.4x less per output token than GPT-5.4 ($0.528 vs $15.00 per million). Updated October 22, 2026; 43 benchmarks have a result for both.
GPT-5.4 or Hy3: which to pick
Only GPT-5.4 has a coding score, 64.4 on the Vibe Coding Index; Hy3 has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick Hy3 for output tokens 28.4x cheaper ($0.528 vs $15.00 per million) and work measured by LMArena WebDev or LMArena WebDev: React, where it leads.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes at each model's listed price, so per-token rates become a bill.
Chat turn
1K input + 500 output tokens
Hy3 costs less
Repository review
50K input + 3K output tokens
Hy3 costs less
Agent loop
200K input + 10K output tokens
Hy3 costs less
Listed OpenRouter rates, without cache or batch discounts. A workload that does not fit a model's context window would need splitting.

Questions
Is GPT-5.4 better than Hy3 for coding?
Only GPT-5.4 has a coding score, 64.4 on the Vibe Coding Index; Hy3 has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding. Pick Hy3 for output tokens 28.4x cheaper ($0.528 vs $15.00 per million) and work measured by LMArena WebDev or LMArena WebDev: React, where it leads.
Which is cheaper, GPT-5.4 or Hy3?
GPT-5.4 costs $2.50 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens; Hy3 costs $0.132 and $0.528. Cost per solved task is known for GPT-5.4 only.
Which has the bigger context window, GPT-5.4 or Hy3?
GPT-5.4, with 1.05M tokens against 262K.
How many benchmarks is the GPT-5.4 vs Hy3 comparison based on?
43 benchmarks have a result for both models as of October 22, 2026. GPT-5.4's coding index rests on 3 independent benchmarks and Hy3's on 1. Where only one model has a result, the page says so instead of naming a winner.
