What is LongCat 2.5 Preview?

LongCat 2.5 Preview is Meituan’s hosted multimodal reasoning model for coding and agent work, with a one-million-token context.

A managed LongCat model

LongCat 2.5 Preview adds image understanding to the publisher’s coding and agent workflow offering. The direct API supports OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions and Anthropic-compatible Messages. The documented context is one million tokens, with up to 131,072 output tokens. Use LongCat-2.5-Preview as the model identifier.

Reasoning and client setup

The Chat Completions interface exposes a thinking object with enabled and disabled modes and supports streaming responses. Configure the client against the documented LongCat endpoint and check which format your coding tool expects. The simple text example is not a complete image request: follow the publisher’s multimodal instructions before sending an image.

Billing

The rate card lists promotional prices of $0.30 per million uncached input tokens, $0.006 for cached input and $1.20 for output. These are temporary discounted rates. The billing record for your actual account remains the reference for a production budget, including any reasoning and retries.

Choosing an evaluation

Give the assistant a small repository issue that requires inspecting a screenshot and modifying code. Review the final patch against the visible requirement and run the same acceptance check used for other models. Then try a long document question that depends on information near the beginning and end. Record missed constraints and repeated work, as well as response time.

How to evaluate LongCat 2.5 Preview

Compare the model on the work you need to complete.

Tasks and inputs

LongCat 2.5 Preview is listed for Image-text-to-text, Text generation, Coding & Code Generation. It accepts text, image and produces text. Use the publisher’s input format and preprocessing for your chosen deployment.

Capacity and cost

Documented limits: 1M context and 131.07K maximum output. The listed route charges $0.30 input and $1.20 output per million tokens. Measure a completed task using the prompts, documents and tools your application will use. Include reasoning and retries in the result.

Choosing a deployment

Use the model identifier and account requirements for the selected API route. Confirm its request limits and output format with one complete task before connecting a larger workflow.
