Known issues we've tracked

LAUNCH (2026-06-30): Meituan open-sourced LongCat-2.0 -- 1.6T-parameter MoE (~48B activated per token), MIT license, native 1M-token context via LongCat Sparse Attention. Trained on 35T+ tokens entirely on domestic Chinese AI ASIC 'superpods' (no Nvidia), which is the geopolitical headline. Revealed as the stealth 'Owl Alpha' model that had been leading OpenRouter rankings. Self-reported benchmarks: SWE-bench Pro 59.5, Terminal-Bench 2.1 70.8, SWE-bench Multilingual 77.3. API pricing per VentureBeat: $0.75/$2.95 per 1M tokens in/out. Weights verified live on Hugging Face (safetensors present) as of 2026-07-05
