Longcat 2.0: 1.6T parameter open-source model released under MIT
Only 48B active per token — massive yet efficient and fully open.
Deep Dive
Elie and ModelScope tweeted about Longcat 2.0, linking to a technical blog post and a Reddit submission.
Key Points
- 1.6 trillion total parameters with only ~48B active per token (sparse MoE architecture).
- Weights released under the permissive MIT license, enabling commercial use.
- One of the largest open-source LLMs available, comparable to proprietary models in scale.
Why It Matters
Democratizes access to trillion-parameter AI for research and commercial use without prohibitive compute costs.
