Strongest published evidence
Published rows are visible, but no category has enough eligible evidence for a comparative rank.
Validate before choosing
17 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. No comparable first-party API token rate is published.
Decision snapshot
Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

How much of this is verified
Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Deployment options
Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.
Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

Lineage
The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. A successor's displayed score stays at least 0.1 points above its predecessor; raw benchmark rows do not move. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
We track LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.
LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse is a open weight model with a 1M context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.
Meituan publishes the checkpoint under MIT on Hugging Face. It replaces dense MLA in LongCat-Flash-Lite with LongCat Sparse Attention and natively supports a 1M-token context.
Official exact-value snapshot from the LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse Hugging Face model card (July 31, 2026), using the without-HI column that Meituan presents first. BenchLM maps SWE-Bench Verified, SWE-Bench Pro, SWE-Bench Multilingual, TerminalBench 2.0 (provider-run, blocklisted), τ²-Telecom is not mapped because the τ² lane is the full average, VitaBench, MCP-Atlas, BrowseComp, MMLU, MMLU-Pro, CMMLU, C-Eval, GPQA-Diamond, MATH500, AIME 2026, HMMT 2026 Feb, and IMO AnswerBench onto existing lanes. RWSearch, BrowseComp-zh, BeyondAIME, and the long-context suite stay outside the schema.
17 of 434 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Frequently asked questions
How does LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse perform overall in AI benchmarks?
LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse has 17 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.
Is LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse good for knowledge and understanding?
LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse has source-displayable benchmark coverage for knowledge and understanding, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse good for coding and programming?
LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse has source-displayable benchmark coverage for coding and programming, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse good for mathematics?
LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?
LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse has source-displayable benchmark coverage for agentic tool use and computer tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse open source?
LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse is an open-weight model from Meituan. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.
Does LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse currently has 17 source-displayable rows across 434 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse?
LongCat-Flash-Lite-Sparse has a documented context window of 1M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
