LongCat: Scaling Embeddings Outperforms Scaling Experts in Language Models


Listen Later

Researchers from the LongCat introduced LongCat-Flash-Lite on January 2026, demonstrating that scaling embeddings via N-gram layers outperforms increasing Mixture-of-Experts parameters in high-sparsity regimes. This architecture uses system optimizations and speculative decoding to boost inference speed.
