Meituan releases MIT-licensed LongCat-2.5 weights, VentureBeat reports

According to VentureBeat, Meituan has released LongCat-2.5’s weights under the MIT license, allowing commercial use, modification and redistribution subject to notice requirements. Meituan describes a model that handles images, video and coding, with limited-time API rates of $0.30 per million uncached input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens. Cheap tokens, not a tiny model: VentureBeat cautions that self-hosting requires substantial infrastructure.
