# meituan-longcat/LongCat-Video > Meituan's open 13.6B foundational video generation model unifying Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video and Video-Continuation, including long videos and audio-driven character animation. - Magnitude: 1.8 out of 10 — Cooling - Stars: 9,192 total · +8 stars measured 2026-10-16, 00:13–11:28 UTC, ≈ 16 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Generative media · Language: Python · License: MIT · Created: 2025-10-25 · Last push: 2026-05-27 - GitHub: https://github.com/meituan-longcat/LongCat-Video · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/meituan-longcat/LongCat-Video ## Useful for - Generate a video from a text prompt via run_demo_text_to_video.py - Animate a still image into video with Image-to-Video - Extend an existing clip without quality loss via Video-Continuation ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-16 (UTC), 00:13–11:28: 9184 → 9192 stars (+8). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +16 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 28% of the previous week and a half. - Recent forks include notable developers: @inematds (212 followers). ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 1,609 - Issues and pull requests: 148 - Watchers: 93 - Average over the last week: 10 per day - Usual pace: 54 per day ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-04 … 2026-11-02: 116, 28, 28, 47, 71, 24, 8, 15, 8, 6, 6, 14, 0, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None ## Magnitude by day, last 14 days 10-03 3.7, 10-04 4.8, 10-05 4.1, 10-06 2.3, 10-07 2.4, 10-08 3.2, 10-09 3.1, 10-10 2.2, 10-11 1.5, 10-12 1.6, 10-13 1.4, 10-14 1.2, 10-15 1.3, 10-16 1.9 --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
