About

LongCat-2.0 is Meituan's large-scale MoE language model for coding, long-context, and agentic tasks. The model has 1.6T total parameters, roughly 48B activated per token, native 1M context support, and API access through OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible LongCat endpoints. Public MIT-licensed safetensors weights are downloadable from Hugging Face, with Transformers, vLLM, and SGLang deployment support.

LongCat-2.0 is an open-source model in the LongCat family. The structured metadata tracks a 1m-token context window, reasoning, function calling, and tool use. This page tracks provider routes through LongCat API Platform, with the cheapest tracked route listed at $0.75 input and $2.95 output per 1M tokens. Headline tracked benchmarks include Terminal-Bench 2.1 70.8, SWE-bench Pro 59.5, and SWE-bench Multilingual 77.3.
