Overview

LongCat 2.0 is Meituan's flagship language model. It is a mixture-of-experts model with 1.6 trillion total parameters and about 48 billion active per token, trained on more than 35 trillion tokens, including a long run of 1M-token context data. The weights are MIT licensed. Meituan trained and serves it on its own AI accelerator clusters.

Meituan aims it at agentic coding and repository-level edits more than chat. That matters for a trading agent in two places: writing and revising the agent code, and running a tool loop that has to keep a long plan straight. The 1M window holds a lot of history, but a database and a short summary still make a better design than a prompt that grows all day.

The list price on Meituan's own API platform is $0.75 per million input tokens and $2.95 per million output tokens. The platform shows a discount below that and says the rates can change, so check the pricing page before you plan a budget around the lower number.

Frequently asked questions

Is LongCat 2.0 open source?

The weights are open under the MIT license and on GitHub and Hugging Face. At 1.6T total parameters it needs a cluster to run, so most owners use Meituan's API or a host like OpenRouter.

What does LongCat 2.0 cost per call?

Meituan lists $0.75 per million input tokens and $2.95 per million output tokens, with cached input far cheaper. A scan loop with a short prompt costs a fraction of a cent per call.

Can it read charts or screenshots?

No. LongCat 2.0 is a text model. Give it prices and indicators as numbers, which is the better input for a trading agent in any case.
