Vercel has made Meituan's LongCat 2.5 available through AI Gateway, adding a model that supports text and image inputs with a 1M-token context window. Vercel describes it as combining visual understanding, coding and multi-step tool use for work across complex codebases and full-project builds. Developers can select the model as meituan/longcat-2.5 through the API or configure coding agents using Vercel's command-line setup. Meituan claims improvements in visual programming, creative design, 3D tasks and longer engineering workflows; the announcement supplies no comparative performance figures.
