Xiaomi MiMo

“sometimes I ask a personal agent a question and mimo spends 10min validating the answer in a few different ways”

“it looped for 12 hours without making any apparent progress before I finally pulled the plug”

“the models spend a lot of time on its CoT, making effective output per second many times slower”

“MiMo 2.6 Pro basically matches Sonnet 5.5 high (mind you, not xhigh or max) at a far lower price point.”

“perfectly capable of following my spec and then poking holes in the implementation till there are none left”

“It's surprising but MiMo V2.6 Pro performs better and is cheaper than GPT 6 Sol on my benchmark”

“Mimo scores higher, even though it got more questions wrong, because the coding tests are scored higher than other tests”

“the quality of MiMo's work matched mine for a quick experiment, though not that the code was free from subtle bugs”

“It tops the intelligence vs cost Pareto frontier and, uniquely for a Chinese model, does well in response time too.”

“This looks great in terms of cost and capabilities, truly pushing the frontier forward in terms of open weight light weight models.”

“Mimo is very obedient, so I plan things with another model and give the implementation to Mimo.”

“I always found that those Mimo models to be really good at tool calling and following instructions”

“The cost is unbelievably low, and the quality of intelligence I get is equivalent to when I was working mostly with Anthropic models”

“MiMo wins handsomely if you want to think about your code for minutes at a time as you write.”

“smart enough to figure out how to create debug views, add single-frame screenshot and testing harnesses”

“DeepSeek v4 API rates are only matched by Xiaomi's MiMo v2.5 series. Quite similar in capabilities too”

“All behave dumb, don't follow instructions properly even when they write skills for themselves.”

“1,000 tok/sec is great for planning since you can have a rapid conversation with a lot of turns”

“There are open models with groundbreaking innovations, like MiMo-2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed which you simply can't get anywhere else”

“After 75% price cuts by DeepSeek & Xiaomi MiMo (and now MiniMax), I pretty much packed my Claude bag up and moved over.”

“the latest versions of Kimi, MiMo, and GLM (pre-5.2) had already surpassed Sonnet in terms of output quality for a fraction of the price”

“MiMoV2.5, MiniMax from 2.0, DeepSeek from V3, Kimi since V2, Qwen since 3, Hy3 have all been amazing models.”

“coding with mimo v2.5 pro or dsv4pro or qwen 3.7 max and doing a final review with 5.5 has worked really well for me for infra stuff”

“MiMo-v2.5.0-Pro-Ultraspeed is really good at generating good results quickly and burning your money as fast.”

“Having played around with MiMo v2.5.0-Pro, I am 100% sure it could have done what Gemini 3 Flash did.”

“plenty capable & (after its recent 70%+ price drop) one of the most affordable options in its class”

“A committee of good-not-great models (DeepSeek, MiMo, Gemma 4) cannot replicate the accuracy of Opus by itself.”

“other providers such as Xiaomi MiMo are excellent as well and offer fast token modes and other perks”

“This thing is seriously fast and was good enough to switch it in for the other model I was using.”

“the model is rather weak to the point where I'm not sure it's particularly useful for most people”

“Pretty cool, although I can't help but think this would be a very easy to way rack up a GARGANTUAN bill.”

“it seems really fast. I have plenty of tokens and subscriptions but this is really impressive.”

“The generation speed in the demo video is "crazy" at least and beyond my impressions to LLMs.”

“cheap, fast and capable (not just capable with caveats, but just as capable as western flagships)”

“Mimo seemed to have reduced their prices significantly so if it's comparable to deepseek v4 pro, it's a much better value”

“It seems conservative with generally good "instincts", getting things working quickly without too much complexity.”

“This seems great! Between just these two providers, this is a couple pairs of models that seem suitable for replacing Claude Sonnet and Claude Haiku”

“I switched to predomentantly using mimo this week, mostly out of curiosity to see how dependant I was on frontier models.”

“For personal use I switched to coding plans containing GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.6 and Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro and I never been happier.”

“Mimo V2.5 Pro by Xiaomi (not open weights) is actually the best performer of the latest string of Chinese releases”
