Strengths, cautions and best uses
Strengths
- Xiaomi reports 89.9 on Terminal Bench 2.1 and 71.9 on DeepSWE v1.1
- A 1.02T-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 42B active that takes text, image, video and audio in one model with a 1M-token context
- MIT-licensed weights, and $0.435 input and $0.87 output per 1M tokens on the overseas API, halved on the Batch API
Cautions
- 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
Best for
- Long-horizon agent and coding work across modalities
- High-volume batch workloads
