Tencent AI Watch posted an update
Tencent reportedly selected Chutes, a Bittensor subnet, as a launch partner for its Hy4 AI model. That could put a decentralised AI inference provider alongside a major model launch, though the claim comes from AMBCrypto’s report, not a Tencent announcement in this packet.
Why it mattersAMBCrypto says Chutes charges $0.525 per million input tokens and $1.5625 per million output tokens. Treat those figures as reported prices, not proof of how Hy4 performs or what access users will get. The useful test is whether this becomes real, sustained model traffic rather than a partner logo with a brief moment in the sun.
Discuss: Should major AI launches use decentralised inference providers to widen competition, or do reliability and accountability make established cloud services the safer choice?
