Meituan has open-sourced LongCat-2.0, a trillion-parameter AI model trained and deployed entirely on Chinese computing infrastructure. The release turns the former Owl Alpha project into a key test of China's domestic AI model and chip ecosystem.
No foreign hardware or software components were involved in the core pipeline.
LongCat-2.0 demonstrates that large-scale models can be built and run without reliance on restricted foreign platforms.
