Deployment FrameworkSGLang
High-performance LLM serving framework with GPU and NPU support for LongCat models. SGLang PR #30042 adds dedicated LongCat-2.0 inference with tensor parallelism and expert parallelism. A separate NPU fork (SGLang-FluentLLM) provides optimized inference on domestic AI accelerators.
Deployment FrameworkvLLM
High-throughput LLM serving engine. LongCat models including LongCat-Flash-Chat-FP8 are directly loadable via vLLM with OpenAI-compatible API. HuggingFace model cards provide vLLM serve commands for quick deployment.
AI Coding HarnessClaude Code
Anthropic's agentic coding CLI tool. LongCat-2.0 is documented as compatible through the Anthropic-compatible API endpoint at api.longcat.chat/anthropic. On OpenRouter, LongCat-2.0 ranked second in monthly call volume among all models used through Claude Code, behind only Claude Opus 4.8.
AI Coding HarnessOpenClaw
Open-source personal AI assistant with a dedicated LongCat provider plugin. Supports thinking mode mapping and streaming. Documentation recommends routing self-hosted LongCat models through vLLM or SGLang providers. LongCat-2.0 ranked third in monthly call volume through OpenClaw on OpenRouter.
API Routing PlatformOpenRouter
Third-party API routing platform where LongCat-2.0 was initially listed anonymously as Owl Alpha. Provides unified API access to LongCat models alongside other LLM providers. LongCat-2.0 ranked among the top three models globally by daily token volume during its anonymous period.
Model LoadingHugging Face Transformers
LongCat models can be loaded directly via Hugging Face Transformers with trust_remote_code=True. Supports AutoModelForCausalLM for language models. BF16, FP8, and INT8 precision variants available.
