Meituan Releases LongCat-2.0: 1.6T-Parameter Open MoE with Native 1M-Token Context

Meituan has open-released LongCat-2.0, a 1.6-trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model featuring native 1 million token context support via a custom LongCat Sparse Attention mechanism. This is a significant open-weight release because truly native long-context (not interpolated or fine-tuned post-hoc) at this scale is rare in open models. Developers building RAG pipelines, document analysis tools, or long-horizon agents can now experiment with a model that doesn't require chunking strategies to handle book-length inputs. The sparse attention design is architecturally notable — it's designed to make 1M-token inference tractable rather than just technically possible. This is one of the most capable open long-context models available and warrants immediate evaluation for any use case bottlenecked by context length.
