LongCat-2.5 weights now on Hugging Face under MIT license

Meituan's 1.6T agentic model is now downloadable, with no usage caps in the license.

Meituan's LongCat team has published the full LongCat-2.5 weights on Hugging Face under the MIT License. As of November 10, 2026, the repository meituan-longcat/LongCat-2.5 is public and ungated, next to a separate 4-bit meituan-longcat/LongCat-2.5-W4A4 repository. The model launched on the LongCat API on November 2 without weights (our launch post).

What changed

  • Weights: meituan-longcat/LongCat-2.5, 208 safetensors shards, with a native multimodal mixture-of-experts design of 1.6 trillion total parameters and about 48 billion active per token.
  • License: MIT for the model weights. The model card says it grants no rights to Meituan trademarks or patents.
  • Quantized version: meituan-longcat/LongCat-2.5-W4A4 applies 4-bit quantization to expert weights and activations for native INT4 compute on domestic AI accelerators. It is also MIT.
  • Serving: the model card documents NPU deployment through SGLang-FluentLLM. It gives no GPU serving recipe yet.
  • Thinking is a switch: enable_thinking turns reasoning on or off through the chat template.

What it means

Any host can now serve LongCat-2.5 without a separate license agreement, and teams can run it on their own hardware. LongCat's own API still lists LongCat-2.5 with a 1M-token context window.

On RouterPlus

LongCat-2.5 is not in the RouterPlus catalog as of November 10, 2026. Compare current open-weight options on the RouterPlus models page.
