How accurate is this LongCat-Flash-Chat pricing data?
This LongCat-Flash-Chat page tracks the latest published Meituan API pricing from Meituan, quoted per million tokens. List rates can differ from invoices because of prompt caching, batch discounts, committed-use tiers, and private contracts. Official rate sheet: https://anotherwrapper.com/tools/llm-pricing. Benchmark scores come from official publications and independent evals, not from a private lab run by AnotherWrapper.
How fast is LongCat-Flash-Chat?
LongCat-Flash-Chat has a measured throughput of about 100 tokens per second (tok/s). Throughput is how fast completions stream once the model starts generating; time-to-first-token can still lag under load. Faster APIs matter when you are building chat or agents, even if the per-million-token price is the same.
