LongCat 2.0: The first trillion-parameter model trained on Chinese-made GPUs

Chinese tech company Meituan announced its new AI model, LongCat 2.0, has one trillion parameters and was trained entirely on domestically produced GPUs, marking a milestone for China's chip independence efforts.

Background

- Meituan is a Chinese tech giant best known for food delivery (like Uber Eats) and local services. It also runs a large cloud business. - LongCat 2.0 is an AI model with over 1 trillion parameters — a scale rivaling GPT-4. Training models this big normally requires thousands of Nvidia GPUs. - Since 2022, US export controls have banned sales of Nvidia's most advanced AI chips to China, forcing Chinese firms to use domestic alternatives (e.g., Huawei's Ascend chips). - Meituan's claim that LongCat 2.0 was trained entirely on Chinese-made GPUs suggests the domestic chip ecosystem may be catching up — a significant geopolitical and technological signal amid the US-China tech rivalry.
