Meituan Makes a New AI with Chinese Parts
美團使用中國零件打造全新 AI
Introduction
Meituan made a new AI model called LongCat-2.0. They used only Chinese computer parts to build it.
美團開發了一款名為 LongCat-2.0 的新 AI 模型，且完全使用中國電腦零件打造。
Main Body
The AI is very big. Meituan used 50,000 Chinese computer chips to teach the AI. They used a special system from Huawei to make the chips work together.
這個 AI 規模非常龐大。美團使用了 5 萬顆中國電腦晶片來訓練該 AI。他們使用了華為的專門系統，使晶片能夠協同工作。
This AI is as good as Google's Gemini AI. But it is not as smart as GPT-5.5. The Chinese software is not as good as NVIDIA software yet.
這個 AI 的能力與 Google 的 Gemini AI 相當。但它不如 GPT-5.5 那麼聰明。中國的軟體目前仍不如 NVIDIA 的軟體。
The USA does not sell some fast chips to China. Now, Meituan can make a big AI without those chips. Meituan also gives money to Chinese chip companies.
美國並不向中國銷售某些高速晶片。現在，美團在沒有這些晶片的情況下也能打造大型 AI。美團同時也向中國晶片公司提供資金。
Conclusion
LongCat-2.0 shows that China can build big AI with its own hardware.
LongCat-2.0 證明了中國可以使用自身的硬體來打造大型 AI。
