LongCat-2.0

Meituan reveals LongCat-2.0, a 1.6T MoE trained entirely on Chinese ASICs

Meituan disclosed LongCat-2.0, a 1.6-trillion-parameter MoE trained entirely on Chinese ASICs without NVIDIA hardware. It scores 59.5 on SWE-bench Pro and runs at $0.038 per million tokens with free cache hits. The model had been serving anonymously as 'Owl Alpha' and ranks among OpenRouter's top models by volume — part of a surge that puts Chinese open-weight models at ~30% of global usage, up from 1.2% eleven months ago.

LongCat Flash Thinking

Meituan's LongCat Flash Thinking: 560B MoE with 27B active, MIT licensed

Meituan released LongCat Flash Thinking, an open-source reasoning MoE with 560B total parameters and only 27B active, under an MIT license. It continued the run of large sparse Chinese open-weights models offering frontier-style reasoning at low active-parameter cost.

LongCat Flash Omni

Meituan releases LongCat Flash Omni, a 560B (27B active) omni model

Meituan's LongCat team released LongCat Flash Omni, a 560B-parameter mixture-of-experts model with roughly 27B active parameters that accepts text, audio, and video input. It extends the open LongCat Flash line into omni-modal territory from a lab better known for food delivery than frontier models.
