770B MoE model with 1M context window integrated into AI Gateway; set model to `tencent/hy4-preview` to route through unified API with cost tracking and failover.
Summary
Adds a Tencent-backed open-source alternative to existing model routers, enabling cost-transparent switching between providers without markup or platform fees. Native integration into coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor) reduces setup friction for agentic workflows.

Implementation verdict
Replaces manual provider API calls with unified routing layer. Requires only model identifier change in AI SDK; coding agent setup via `vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup`. Worth testing now if you're already on Vercel's ecosystem; otherwise evaluate against native provider APIs for latency overhead.
