Meituan LongCat 2.0 added on OpenRouter
TL;DR
Meituan LongCat 2.0 is now available on OpenRouter with 1,049K context at $0.30/M input and $1.20/M output.
What changed
Meituan released LongCat 2.0 on OpenRouter. Vibe Builders, Basic Users, and Developers add the model ID to an existing OpenRouter API setup to begin testing. The model ships with a 1,049K context window.
Specs
- •Context window 1,049K tokens
- •Pricing input $0.30 per M tokens
- •Pricing output $1.20 per M tokens
- •Model ID meituan/longcat-2.0
- •Vendor docs https://openrouter.ai/meituan/longcat-2.0
Why it matters
LongCat 2.0 supports multi-hundred-page PDF processing at the listed rates. Vibe Builders can route classification workloads through it while Developers compare input costs directly against other OpenRouter entries. Basic Users gain a new option for RAG experiments without changing providers.
What to watch for
Track performance against other OpenRouter models such as those from DeepSeek. Run targeted tests on codebase ingestion and monitor actual output token spend over the first week of use.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Route classification workloads through LongCat 2.0 on OpenRouter to process long PDFs cheaply.
- Developers: Add the meituan/longcat-2.0 ID to your OpenRouter API to test 1M context at $0.30 per million input.
Harsh’s take
LongCat 2.0 brings a massive 1M context window to OpenRouter at rock-bottom pricing. At thirty cents per million input tokens, it undercuts almost every major provider for heavy document processing. Builders should swap this model ID into their existing OpenRouter pipelines immediately to run comparative benchmark tests.
Do not let the low price fool you into skipping evaluation. Run rigorous tests on retrieval accuracy across the full context window before routing production traffic. The low cost makes it an excellent candidate for high-volume classification and initial RAG passes.
