We're eagerly anticipating the soon-to-be-launched AI food ordering feature.

It appears that Meituan is poised to make a significant leap in the realm of AI large models.

On November 3, the Meituan LongCat Large Model official App made its official debut.

After some research, Xiao Lei discovered that the LongCat App is now accessible on both Android and iOS platforms. Users can download it via the official LongCat website, while Apple enthusiasts can simply search for 'LongCat' in the App Store to download it.

Without further delay, let's dive into LongCat's self-introduction.

In its self-introduction, LongCat proudly declares itself as an artificial intelligence language model crafted by Meituan.

The standout feature of LongCat-Flash-Omni is its true full-modal capabilities. It's not just capable of searching online and processing diverse information formats like text, images, audio, and video simultaneously; it can also engage in real-time audio and video interactions.

However, at present, it only accommodates text and voice inputs, along with voice call functionality (video calling is in the pipeline for launch, and file upload is currently only available on the web version).

Let's put it to the test with a search. Type in 'Lei Technology' and observe the results.

Impressive. The hierarchical presentation is seamlessly integrated.

Next up, let's assess its performance with voice input. Xiao Lei recorded a snippet of audio in a noisy environment to challenge LongCat.

The outcome was commendable. Despite the background music and environmental noise, LongCat accurately identified the human voice content and provided relevant feedback suggestions.

Given that it's an AI model under Meituan's umbrella, why not try ordering takeout with it? Let's give it a shot.

Alas, single-sentence AI food ordering isn't available yet. We can only hope for its speedy launch.

Nevertheless, based on this practical testing round, if Xiao Lei were to encapsulate the intuitive impression of LongCat-Flash-Omni in two words, they would be: agile and resilient.

Even when confronted with complex multimodal task challenges, it responds swiftly, with the entire interaction process flowing as smoothly as a gentle stream.

Moreover, whether it's engaging in casual daily chat Q&A, performing precise voice recognition, or tackling flexible reasoning questions like brain teasers, it responds promptly and accurately without breaking a sweat.

Speaking of which, from the start of this year until now, Meituan has rolled out a series of initiatives that are truly awe-inspiring.

In July, Meituan took the lead as an investor for two renowned embodied intelligence companies—Tasi Intelligent Navigation and Stellaris. Then, starting in late August, Meituan swiftly unveiled a series of models, including LongCat-Flash-Chat, LongCat-Flash-Thinking, and LongCat-Video.

Not only that, but Meituan has also introduced a plethora of new AI products, such as the AI programming tool NoCode and the AI life companion assistant Xiaomei Intelligent Agent, all making their grand entrances...

This leaves Xiao Lei pondering: What exactly is Meituan's grand plan with all these moves?

Actually, deciphering Meituan's intentions isn't that challenging.

As a company that emerged from the mobile internet sector, Meituan possesses a deeper insight than most into the vast potential of AI large models.

As its business continues to penetrate deeper into various industries, Meituan clearly recognizes that a robust 'world model' can substantially reduce reliance on hardware performance, aiding enterprises in striking the perfect balance between cost control and efficiency enhancement.

Thus, it's no wonder that Meituan is going all-in on AI large models.

In conclusion, what are your thoughts on Meituan's recent endeavors in paving the way for AI large models? Feel free to share your comments and opinions.
