  1. Meituan Open-Sources LongCat-2.0, a 1.6T Agentic Coding Model Trained Entirely on Chinese ChipsMeituan open-sourced LongCat-2.0, a 1.6-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts coding model with a one-million-token context window, releasing it under the permissive MIT license on GitHub and Hugging Face. The release unmasked 'Owl Alpha,' the anonymous stealth model that had quietly topped global developer charts on OpenRouter for two months -- and revealed that the entire system was trained and served on a 50,000-card domestic compute cluster with no Nvidia or AMD accelerators. It is the clearest evidence yet that China can build a near-frontier AI stack end to end despite US export controls.→
  2. Wix's Base44 Launches Its Own Model, Base1, in a Bet on DefensibilityBase44, the vibe-coding platform Wix acquired for $80 million a year ago, began rolling out its own large language model, Base1, trained on a dataset generated from tens of millions of real user interactions on its platform. The move is a direct play for defensibility -- owning the model gives Base44 control over compute and inference spend and a structurally stronger margin profile, as the debate intensifies over whether companies built atop someone else's frontier model can endure.→
