When to pick which

MiMo V2.6 Flash

Xiaomi's open-weights omnimodal model, a 309B-total, 15B-active mixture-of-experts. It is the small sibling of MiMo V2.6 Pro and replaces MiMo V2.5, adding audio and video input on a 1M window.

Pick it if

  • you want the cheapest 1M-window model with image, video and audio input
  • you run high-volume agent or coding loops where cached prefixes dominate the bill
  • you want MIT-licensed weights you can self-host

Skip it if

  • you need the strongest MiMo results on security and exploit benchmarks; Pro scores higher there

MiMo V2.6 Pro

Xiaomi's flagship open-weights omnimodal model, a 1.02T-total, 42B-active mixture-of-experts with a 1M window. It replaces the text-only MiMo V2.5 Pro and adds image, video and audio input.

Pick it if

  • you want Xiaomi's strongest model for agent, coding and computer-use work
  • you need image, video or audio input on a 1M window
  • you want MIT-licensed weights you can self-host

Skip it if

  • you only need Flash-level quality; Flash scores close to Pro on most maker-reported rows at a third of the price
