Cina's AI ecosystem is different from everyone else:
Every company wants to release its own SOTA model, but they are all going open source.
They are competing but sharing openly with the world.
I wish the US were trying to do the same.
Just confirmed: the mystery model "Owl Alpha" on OpenRouter is from Meituan.
A Chinese company. The model is called LongCat-2.0. The model: 1.6T total parameters. ~48B activated on average.
Optimized for multi-step reasoning and tool calling.
