Qwen3.7 Max vs Hy3 preview
Qwen3.7 Max leads Hy3 preview on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, 29.5 to 25.3, and Hy3 preview costs 7.4x less per output token ($0.60 vs $4.425 per million). Updated October 22, 2026; 12 benchmarks have a result for both.
Qwen3.7 Max or Hy3 preview: which to pick
Only Qwen3.7 Max has a coding score, 54.1 on the Vibe Coding Index; Hy3 preview has none, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick Hy3 preview for output tokens 7.4x cheaper ($0.60 vs $4.425 per million) and work measured by AA Agentic Index, 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 preview costs less
Repository review
50K input + 3K output tokens
Hy3 preview costs less
Agent loop
200K input + 10K output tokens
Hy3 preview costs less
Listed OpenRouter rates, without cache or batch discounts. A workload that does not fit a model's context window would need splitting.
