Meituan releases LongCat-2.5, a 1.6T-parameter multimodal model for agentic coding
Overview
Meituan's LongCat team releases LongCat-2.5, a natively multimodal model with 1.6 trillion total parameters and about 48 billion active per token, aimed at long-horizon agentic tasks and coding.
Meituan's own table shows Terminal Bench v2.1 rising from 70.8 to 88.4 but trailing the top entry on Program Bench; Pandaily says these figures are not independently verified. Leiphone says the model was trained entirely on domestic compute and is the largest such run so far, a claim the reports do not independently confirm.
Meituan says the API is at longcat.ai/platform, where new users receive 10 million free tokens and existing users receive another 10 million, with cache hits free. A later Testing Catalog report says the model is compared with GPT-5.5, GPT-5.6-Sol, Claude-Opus-4.8 and Claude-Opus-5, and puts active parameters at about 49 billion, not 48 billion. GitHub and Hugging Face releases are promised but not yet made.

🚨 AI News | TestingCatalog@testingcatalogXMeituan releases LongCat-2.5, a 1.6T-parameter multimodal agentic modelAIMeituan released LongCat-2.5, a natively multimodal agentic model with 1.6T total parameters and about 49B active. The company says it targets long-horizon agentic tasks, including complex coding and visual coding such as creative design and 3D work. Meituan says the model is compared with GPT-5.5, GPT-5.6-Sol, Claude-Opus-4.8, and Claude-Opus-5, and is now available through its API.
Meituan LongCat@Meituan_LongCatOfficialMeituan LongCat uses LongCat-2.5 to build real-time fluid simulation webpagesAIMeituan LongCat says LongCat-2.5 can build a real-time fluid simulation and VFX tool that generates high-FPS, interactive webpages with live fluid dynamics. The post presents it as a tool for developers, designers, and science communicators to visualize physical phenomena interactively.

Meituan LongCat@Meituan_LongCatOfficialMeituan LongCat-2.5 scales agentic RL for long-horizon tasksAIMeituan LongCat says LongCat-2.5 scales an end-to-end agentic reinforcement learning pipeline spanning data, environments, algorithms and harnesses for long-horizon tasks. Its MOPD training retains the previous model's expert groups. Per-cut prefixes and segment-capped student rollouts keep long responses stable, while shared prefill, KV-cache reuse and Tree Attention reduce sampling and training cost.
