The images behind the story
LongCat 2.5 reaches the API. Check its costs and output limits.
Meituan’s new model offers long-context, multimodal agent access. Its docs disagree on maximum output, and the advertised token rates are temporary.

- Why this image
- The paper ribbon, measuring tools and workbench represent testing long-context input, documented limits and useful coding work. A closed storage case distinguishes hosted access from a weights release. The quiet paper-and-gouache style matches Headless Thrones without turning vendor benchmark claims into a misleading chart.

Original conceptual editorial illustration for Headless Thrones about evaluating a newly released long-context multimodal coding API. A carefully crafted miniature forest-green workshop on a cream desk: a very long folded paper ribbon passes through a brass measuring gate into an open teal workbench, where a small picture frame, a stack of blank document sheets, and a precise unfinished architectural model suggest images, context and coding working together. Two different brass measuring rulers rest side by side, subtly conveying that documented limits need checking. A closed unmarked storage case behind the workbench suggests weights that are not yet released. Calm, practical, thoughtful visual storytelling, no dramatic danger. Editorial gouache with fine ink linework, tactile paper grain and coherent miniature scale. Warm cream #f4f1e8, forest green #263d35, sage #9aaa81, muted ocean teal #103d4a and restrained ochre. Landscape composition, generate 1536 by 1024 pixels if supported, otherwise native resolution; generous breathing room. No text, letters, numbers, logos, watermark, real people, robots, cats, fake interfaces or benchmark charts. Clearly an imagined AI-generated illustration, not documentary evidence or a literal architecture diagram.
