MiMo-v2.6-Pro: Intelligence, Performance and Price Analysis

"When evaluating the Intelligence Index, it generated 140M tokens, which is somewhat verbose in comparison to the median of 140M."

Nowadays these error can be a good thing :)

Human error means this wasn't just stopped together by some bot.

My bet is that it's a bot error, but of a rule based one.

It is an impressive model. Agreed on most that is written on this page, with the exception of it being fast. I ran it on my own LLM benchmark suite[1] and it is faster than DeepSeek but still much slower than leading models. But it's pricing is where it really shines.

OpenAI usage limits have been severely cut, and intelligence appears to be markedly declining, so I'm going to start trying these Chinese models seriously now. I don't mind if it takes longer. I just need the intelligence to predictably work the same way from day to day.

Same- I pay $200/mo for Codex but whereas I used to get a week's work out of a weekly limit, now I get roughly 1~2 days.

I've stopped using Astra entirely and remain on Sol orchestrating Luna Xhigh, but it's still not nearly a week's usage for a week's allotment.

And even then, whenever a new model is about to come out, it feels like the model I'm using is being dumbed down substantially.

I have no evidence for this and can have no evidence for this, but I can vote with my wallet regardless.

Per Xiaomi, MiMo v2.6 training run cost $3,47,000. This is a far cry from the estimated costs for the Big 5 (MSL, xAI, GDM, OAI, Ant). I wouldn't be surprised if salaries and R&D costs have similar drastic disparities.
