- The API checkpoint (RL or MOPD weights) is not identified
MiMo-V2.6-Pro
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
