PERSONAL AGENT # LightVela (Tencent Lighthouse) review LightVela (Tencent Lighthouse) (Tencent Cloud Lighthouse): cloud computer spec, pricing in USD, channels and published performance. Data updated: 2026-11-05 09:38 Tencent Lighthouse's cloud-hosted agent, dubbed 'China's Muse' by media: each user gets a cloud host pre-installed with tools like Hermes, controlled via WeChat/QQ. **Classified as Personal Agent** (A persistent agent that is yours: one per person, acting on your behalf). One cloud host per person, controlled via WeChat/QQ. Media calls it 'China's Muse'. Essentially a managed host pre-installed with tools like Hermes, with weak personal attributes. A boundary product, to be observed.

Everyday chat and simple tasks run in a VM; every agent, chat assistants included, has one, so it is not listed. - **VPS (cloud computer)**: A long-lived environment whose state persists, which the user or agent can enter again and again. A VPS always includes a VM, but not the other way round; we only track whether a product has a VPS. | Metric | Finding (by source) | |---|---| | VPS | Tested 2026-10-15 Yes · Tested: a persistent Tencent Lighthouse instance; the egress IP stays fixed unless the instance is restarted. · Agent self-report Yes · Agent self-report: a single long-lived VM, up for 2+ weeks, with files, software and background processes kept. source | [How it is tested →](https://www.tandiu.cn/en/agents/method#machine) RUNTIME ## Agent runtime survey The agent answered the standard questionnaire inside its own runtime (2026-10-15). | Indicator | Result | |---|---| | Runtime type | VPS (cloud computer) | | Machine persists | Yes, one long-lived VM (up 2+ weeks) | | Workspace persistence | Kept | | Software persistence | Kept | | GUI / browser | Desktop on demand · browser control | | IP stability | High: Tencent Cloud datacenter IP, unchanged 2+ weeks | | Background work | Yes, 2+ weeks uninterrupted · system cron | | Lifecycle awareness | Partly, via uptime and files | | Task–runtime consistency | Consistent: long-lived VM and stable IP match our tests | | User takeover | Limited: SSH/VNC run but need a tunnel | | Fit for long-running agents | Yes | [All 30 answers and sources →](https://www.tandiu.cn/en/agents/env#lightvela) OVERVIEW ## Overview & spec Cloud computer (entry) **2 vCPU / 8 GB RAM / 50 GB storage** Spec: officialSource: Tencent Cloud Official Technical Documentation/News Reports (Entry-level) Vendor Tencent Cloud Lighthouse Type Personal Agent Status Public beta (first month free for new users) Launched 2026-09-26 Model / framework Pre-installed Hermes Agent and DeepSeek Harness (media reports) Channels WeChat, QQ, WeCom, Feishu, DingTalk, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp Availability Mainland China (also available on international site lightvela.ai) PRICING ## Plans Price: media reports Official website confirms 'first month free for new users + 4500 points'; Cruise AI tier pricing and configuration from media reports (reported '$23' and 'first month ¥13.8 (40% off)' do not match, recorded as ¥23 RMB), subject to official information.
