Chinese DoorDash rival smashes open source record with 1.6-trillion-parameter LLM with a 1-million-context-token model crafted without Nvidia hardware

Meituan has made headlines by unveiling LongCat-2.0, a groundbreaking 1.6-trillion-parameter large language model that breaks open-source records. Notably, it was trained using only domestic Chinese chips, sidestepping reliance on foreign hardware like that from Nvidia. This achievement underscores China's growing prowess in artificial intelligence and its commitment to reducing dependency on foreign tech. With a context window of 1 million tokens, LongCat-2.0 could revolutionize local AI applications, potentially impacting everything from automated customer service to advanced data analysis.
