Xiaomi launches MiMo‑V2.5‑Pro and V2.5, matching benchmarks at lower token cost
Xiaomi just dropped two new AI models. They hit the same performance marks as the industry's top benchmarks. But they cost less to run.
The flagship, MiMo-V2.5-Pro, now leads Xiaomi's own MiMo Coding Bench. That's the company's internal scorecard for developer agent tasks. Xiaomi claims it can directly replace systems like Claude Code.
Xiaomi MiMo team publicly released two new models: MiMo-V2.5-Pro and MiMo-V2.5.
The standard V2.5 model handles vision and audio natively and supports a one-million-token context. Its price is roughly half that of the last version. This gives developers a cheaper path to proven performance.
For coding, the Pro model slots into existing agent frameworks. The broader V2.5 version offers multimodal reasoning at a cut rate. It's a clear shot across the bow on pricing for high-end AI.
