Editorial verdict

Where this model fits

Back to all benchmarks →

LongCat-2.0 now sits in D tier. The team appreciated what it represented when fewer strong alternatives existed, but no longer sees a reason to choose it now that the larger labs have caught up. The next release needs to earn a fresh evaluation.

Best for

Re-evaluation after a meaningful new release
Existing Meituan-specific experiments only

Watch out

Outpaced by newer models
Not a current team recommendation
Wait for LongCat 2.1 or another substantial update

Why it is ranked here

LongCat falls to D because the current field has overtaken the release the team originally found interesting.
Its original novelty no longer offsets the capability gap to newer Chinese and US models.
The team wants to test the next meaningful LongCat release rather than carry forward an old reputation.
