Verdict
When to choose each
Glimpse
Where it leads
No measured lead over MiMo-V2.6-Pro in this data.
Best for
- Visual question answering over charts, scenes and short videos
- Counting and captioning at a lower price than frontier multimodal models
Watch out for
- In Elorian's own table GPT-6 Astra scores higher on six of the twelve evaluations, including TOMATO temporal reasoning and Video-MME v2
- Post-trained on an open-weights base model Elorian does not name; it publishes no context window or output limit, and no independent benchmark score is recorded here yet
MiMo-V2.6-Pro
Where it leads
- Lower input and output prices, $0.435 and $0.87 vs $0.60 and $3 per 1M tokens
- Accepts audio input
- Open weights you can run yourself
- A cached-input rate, $0.0036 per 1M tokens
- Batch pricing, $0.2175 input and $0.435 output per 1M tokens
Best for
- Long-horizon agent and coding work across modalities
- High-volume batch workloads
Watch out for
- The weights ship as two checkpoints (RL and MOPD), and Xiaomi does not say which one the API serves
- The mimo-v2.6-pro-ultraspeed id costs ten times as much and has no Batch API
