LongCat-2.5 is a native multimodal mixture-of-experts model from Meituan's LongCat team, with 1.6 trillion total parameters and roughly 48 billion activated per token. It builds on LongCat-2.0 and accepts image and text input, producing text output. It is aimed at long-horizon agentic tasks such as complex codebase development, full-project builds, creative design and 3D-related tasks.
According to the model card, visual features at native resolution are converted into discrete tokens and aligned with text in a shared space (building on LongCat-Next). Training used large-scale reinforcement learning on real-world engineering tasks, multi-teacher distillation, and long-sequence training optimizations run on domestic AI accelerators. Benchmark results in the card are partly cited from public sources and partly measured in-house, so they are indicative only.
Weights are published on Hugging Face under the MIT license. Creators noted the model is also reachable via LongCat Chat and an API. At 1.6T parameters it is too large for most people to run locally.
