The model keeps the same MoE architecture (~1.6 trillion total parameters, ~48 billion activated) but adds image understanding and support for long-horizon, multi-app workflows across terminals, browsers, desktop software, spreadsheets, and design tools. It natively supports a 1-million-token context window with a 128K max output, and is API-compatible with Claude Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes, and Kilo Code via OpenAI and Anthropic formats. OpenCode is offering it free for two weeks with zero data retention. Meituan has not published benchmarks, hasn't confirmed open-sourcing plans for the Preview, and has not announced final pricing beyond a 5-million-token free quota for existing users. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
