BenchLeader

LongCat 2.0

LongCat 2.0 is a Meituan open-weights reasoning model, released 29 Jun 2026. Its best configuration ranks #400 of 785 on the BenchLeader Index at 49.4 ±4.9, in the lower half. The ± is the point: 331 other configurations score within that range, so they and this one cannot be told apart on quality alone — price and speed are what separate them. It scores highest in long context (57) and lowest in agents & tools (41). At $1.30 per million tokens blended it is pricier than most ranked models. Output speed of 77 tokens per second puts it slower than most, with a first answer in 28.8 s. Last measured 29 Jun 2026.

How its index has moved

The index is recomputed from scratch every day, so a line moves when a new benchmark result lands, when a publisher revises a score, or when the models it is normalised against change. Early movement usually means the score is still settling.
