✨ Pros

  • 1.6T total / 48B active MoE, operational cost close to DeepSeek V3
  • 1M token context window, +13 point LongBench v2 lead
  • MIT license, no commercial restriction
  • OpenRouter model meituan/longcat-2-0-1.6t-moe ready to use
  • vLLM-compatible inference, single-node 8x H100 INT4 deploy
