China’s food delivery giant Meituan has released its next-generation LongCat large language model, LongCat-2.0, which is the world’s first trillion-parameter AI system trained and run entirely on a 50,000-chip cluster powered by Chinese-made processors.
Self-Sufficiency Focus
LongCat-2.0’s reliance on Chinese AI chips underscores the growing importance of self-sufficiency in China’s domestic AI market. The model is aimed at agentic coding, with its architecture designed to help it handle real-world coding tasks more efficiently and reliably.
Meituan has used earlier versions to power in-app AI assistants that recommend restaurants and hotels and complete tasks such as ordering food and booking rooms. The company highlighted the model’s ability to build a gaming website and write a novel.
LongCat-2.0 was trained from scratch using 50,000 domestic chips and can process inputs of up to 1 million tokens, allowing it to handle ultra-long documents. A preview version of the model had already become one of the three most-used models on OpenRouter, a globally popular AI marketplace.
