Meituan for the first time unveiled plans to develop its own artificial intelligence model after the company reported a 20% increase in its quarterly revenue.
The mentioned Chinese leader in the meal delivery area has become another major technological player in the Asian country, joining the accelerating race of machine intelligence. Meituan is starting to integrate artificial intelligence into its workflows and the full range of its consumer services, including its travel website and e-commerce platform.
The company is currently developing its own large language model called LongCat. It is expected that this virtual product will compete with ByteDance Ltd.’s Doubao and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s Qwen.
