LongCat 2.5 hands-on: a cinema landing page in ~6 minutes for ~$0.40 via Claude Code
FellMentKE · x · 2026-11-04
The author put the newly released LongCat 2.5 through a practical front-end test: one prompt, run through Claude Code, to build "The Meteor" — a late-night art house cinema site with a dark visual style, elegant typography and amber accents, delivered as a single HTML file.
The task wasn't just "make a pretty page": the model had to turn a written brief into a visual hierarchy — a double-feature schedule, ticket prices, membership info, and what makes the theater worth visiting — while deciding how sections relate and how visitors move through them.
Results from the thread: 6 minutes total, 2 generations, $0.40 API cost. The first pass produced the full page; the second was minor spacing polish. The author also notes LongCat-2.5 trains on sequences up to 1M tokens, targeting sustained long-horizon coding work.
