Meituan releases LongCat-2.5 with 1.6T parameters for long-horizon agents

Meituan has released LongCat-2.5, a large language model with 1.6 trillion parameters, approximately 48 billion of which are active. This natively multimodal model is designed for long-horizon agents and was trained entirely on Chinese hardware. It features a unique approach to image quantization and incorporates reinforcement learning for failed trajectories, achieving 43% faster prefill inference speeds. AI

IMPACT This model's advanced multimodal capabilities and efficiency could push the boundaries for long-horizon agent development.
