Answers about quality, licensing, hardware, and prompt writing for LongCat Video.
No. LongCat Video is an independent AI wrapper that connects you to LongCat and other third-party models. We are not the developers of those models, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by any model vendor. We add the interface, billing, safety rails, and support.
LongCat AI usually refers to Meituan's LongCat model family and related open multimodal releases. On this site, the focus is LongCat Video generation: text-to-video, image-to-video, and continuation workflows wrapped in a hosted creator interface.
Yes. Continuation is one of the clearest reasons to use LongCat Video. You can extend a shot while keeping characters, lighting, and motion more stable than many short-form-first generators.
Longcat engineering means the technical choices behind the model workflow: dense parameters, sparse attention, continuation training, and practical prompt/control decisions. It does not mean the old Longcat puzzle game.
You get: ✓ A simpler interface with no code needed ✓ Extra video tools (conversion, GIF, thumbnails) ✓ One place to manage credits/subscriptions ✓ Transparent pricing ✓ Support that replies within 3 business days.
Hosted generation uses purchased credits. New accounts receive no automatic credits; existing balances remain available under their original terms. See the exact cost before each run.
A modern GPU with 24GB+ VRAM is recommended for 720p 30fps long runs. Shorter drafts can start on smaller cards thanks to coarse-to-fine rendering.
Use frame counts and seeds to control length and reproducibility. Detailed camera cues help LongCat Video follow motion styles closely.
Not today. The hosted site currently runs through the web app for signed-in users. If you need automation, self-host the open-source weights or contact support about integration options.
Video continuation is native. Provide conditioning frames and LongCat Video will extend without abrupt resets or flicker.
Check the Benchmarks section for MOS scores that show how LongCat Video compares on text alignment, visual quality, and motion quality.

LongCat emphasizes coherent continuation and longer shots. The model weights can be self-hosted; this hosted workspace charges credits for compute and shows the exact cost before each job. Compare output quality, turnaround time, and total rerun cost against Runway or Pika for your own workflow.
Yes. LongCat Video's hosted web interface requires no coding or AI expertise. Choose a mode (text-to-video or image-to-video), write a simple prompt or upload an image, and generate. The AI handles the complex video generation automatically.
