Qwen 3.7 vs LongCat-2.0

What I tested — same prompt, two models

I run the same fixed prompt set through every new model the day it drops — same string, one shot, single HTML file out — and I score the result 0–10 on whether it ran, how close it hit the brief, and how good it looked. Below is what came out when I gave the exact same prompts to Qwen 3.7 and LongCat-2.0, side by side, on 4 shared tasks inside the Agent Operating System.

Both models were given identical prompts inside the Agent Operating System — no help, no iteration, no "best of N" tricks. I run each prompt once, save the HTML file the model produces, and score it 0–10 on whether it ran, how close it hit the brief, and how good it looked. The scoring is mine. The verdicts below are pulled from my source comparison guides at agentos.guide where I publish every score and the reasoning behind it.

Qwen 3.7 · Wired alongside GLM-5.2 in Agent OS for open-weights agent loops where you want vendor diversity.

LongCat-2.0 · Run through the free longcat.chat web chat (the API key had no token quota), driven with the local-model-tester GoldieBench prompts; every build render-verified + playtested (verify-move.js: walks + looks + zero errors) before scoring. Slots into the Agent OS as an open frontier coder via its OpenAI-compatible API or the Claude Code / OpenClaw / Hermes harnesses.

The verdict — which should you pick?

Across 4 scored shared tasks, LongCat-2.0 averaged 8.12/10, beating Qwen 3.7's 7.00/10 by 1.12 points. Pick LongCat-2.0 when the build has to ship on the first prompt and you can afford the trade-offs in the comparison below.

If you only run one of these inside your stack, the head-to-head average above is the call. If you can run both, my honest play is to wire Qwen 3.7 and LongCat-2.0 both into the Agent Operating System and dispatch each from the kanban by task type — open-weights alternative to glm-5.2 when you want a different model family → Qwen 3.7, one-shot single-file 3d / html / game builds inside the agent os → LongCat-2.0. That's the same setup I run for the 3,600+ founders inside the AI Profit Boardroom.

FAQ — Qwen 3.7 vs LongCat-2.0

Which is better, Qwen 3.7 or LongCat-2.0?

On Goldie Bench, Qwen 3.7 averages 7.00/10 across the shared tasks, with 0 gold, 0 silver, 0 bronze overall. LongCat-2.0 averages 8.12/10, with 0 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze. LongCat-2.0 wins the head-to-head 3–0.

How much does Qwen 3.7 cost vs LongCat-2.0?

Qwen 3.7: Alibaba's open-weights release — downloadable from Hugging Face, runnable locally or via Alibaba Cloud's free tier for individuals. LongCat-2.0: LongCat-2.0 is open-sourced (weights on Hugging Face + GitHub) and served via the longcat.chat web chat plus an OpenAI-compatible API (model id 'LongCat-2.0' at api.longcat.chat/openai/v1). It's a 1.6T-parameter MoE with ~48B activated per token, trained entirely on AI ASIC superpods (>50K accelerators, 35T+ tokens, no rollbacks). Note: the direct API key we were handed shipped with zero token quota ('Token 额度不足'), so every build here was run through the free web chat. Vendor: Meituan.

What's the context window for Qwen 3.7 vs LongCat-2.0?

Qwen 3.7 has a 256,000 tokens context window. LongCat-2.0 has a 1,000,000 tokens (LongCat Sparse Attention) context window.

When should I pick Qwen 3.7 over LongCat-2.0?

Pick Qwen 3.7 for: Open-weights alternative to GLM-5.2 when you want a different model family; Multilingual workloads (Chinese, multi-script content); Fluid and particle simulations. The trade-off is the weaknesses we logged on the bench: Only 5 tasks scored on the bench so far — small sample size; Trails GLM-5.2 on cinematic visual builds at similar pricing.

When should I pick LongCat-2.0 over Qwen 3.7?

Pick LongCat-2.0 for: One-shot single-file 3D / HTML / game builds inside the Agent OS; Long-context, repo-level edits + automated agentic task execution; A free, open, frontier-class coder to drop into the Model-Proof System. The trade-off is the weaknesses we logged on the bench: The direct API key we were given had near-zero token quota, so we ran it through the free web chat rather than the API; One camera-framing miss: Voxel Craft loaded facing away from the world (sky-only) until a one-line yaw/pitch patch pointed it at the terrain.

How does Goldie Bench score Qwen 3.7 vs LongCat-2.0?

Every demo on this page was built by Julian Goldie inside the Agent Operating System — same fixed prompt for both models, one shot, single HTML file out. Each result gets a 0–10 score on whether it ran, how close it hit the brief, and how good it looked. The highest score on each task gets gold; second gets silver; third gets bronze. See methodology for full provenance.
