MiMo V2.6
Xiaomi’s MiMo-V2.6 family — MIT-licensed native-omnimodal MoE with 1M context. Flagship open checkpoint is MiMo-V2.6-Pro-RL (1.02T total / 42B activated); Flash-RL is 309B / 15B activated. Hosted API ids: mimo-v2.6-pro, mimo-v2.6-flash, mimo-v2.6-pro-ultraspeed. Xiaomi publishes an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index score of 46 for Pro; that figure is vendor-published and is not a DataAIHub ranking.

Pricing
Xiaomi says V2.6 keeps V2.5 API list prices and adds Pro UltraSpeed. Self-host via MIT weights. Do not treat third-party rate tables as official.
Availability
Open weights: XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Pro-RL and XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL (MIT; collection XiaomiMiMo/mimo-v26). Xiaomi also released MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B plus RL task environments. Hosted: MiMo Open Platform, AI Studio, MiMo Code, MiMo Desktop, and listed on OpenRouter. Model-card serving recipes: SGLang (preferred) and a vLLM image based on the MiMo-V2.5 recipe — the Flash card says stable vLLM may lag. Do not assume Ollama/LM Studio day-one support.
Use cases
- Open-weight omnimodal agents (text, image, video, audio)
- Long-context coding and tool-using agents
- Self-hosted MIT-licensed deployments
- Hosted MiMo API when not self-hosting
Strengths
- MIT license on Pro-RL and Flash-RL weights
- Native text/image/video/audio with 1M context
- Documented SGLang and vLLM serve recipes on the model cards
Limitations
- Pro self-host footprint is multi-node class on the published SGLang recipe
- vLLM support may lag; card points at a MiMo-V2.5 image
- Newer ecosystem than Llama/Qwen; Xiaomi is not yet a DataAIHub company page
- Vendor benchmark/AA claims are not DataAIHub scores

- DeepSeek V4DeepSeekDeepSeek’s V4 generation — live Flash is V4.1-Flash-1017 (API id deepseek-flash, upgraded 2026-10-17): Causal Encoder–Decoder MoE, 552B backbone (8B active prefill / 16B decode), native image+text, and 1M context. API id and prices are unchanged from the 2026-09-10 Flash list. MIT weights on Hugging Face. Legacy deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp aliases temporarily route here. deepseek-v4-pro still serves V4-Pro-0813 after 2026-09-14 at unchanged Pro rates (DeepSeek withdrew the planned Flash reroute).
- Gemini 3.1 ProGoogleGoogle’s Pro-class Gemini for hard reasoning and native multimodal work. Prefer API id gemini-3.1-pro-preview; Gemini 3.5 Pro remains partner-testing. This slug is not Gemini 4 Argon (gemini-4-argon, public 2026-10-13). On the Gemini API, gemini-2.5-pro has no announced shutdown date and is not deprecated; access is limited to projects that have already used it.
- Gemini 4 ArgonGoogleStable Gemini API id gemini-4-argon, released 13 October 2026. Google’s model page describes it as the flagship for complex software engineering, deep mathematical and scientific problems, autonomous multi-step agents, and long decode. Thinking can be set to low, medium, or high. The long-decode guide names medium as the default for most coding and agentic work. It documents function calling, structured outputs, code execution, search grounding, URL context, and file search. Computer use is in preview. The model page does not document native MCP support. Image generation, audio generation, and the Live API are not supported.
- Kimi K3Moonshot AIMoonshot’s Kimi K3 family — 2.8T MoE (104B active), 1M context, native vision. Hugging Face weights under the Kimi K3 License (moonshotai/Kimi-K3) remain the downloadable checkpoint, including in GitHub Copilot. Kimi K3.1 Pro (2026-10-23) is a post-trained K3 and the current API flagship: kimi-k3.1-pro, plus kimi-k3.1-pro-highspeed, which Moonshot says is 2–3× faster. Both are on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, and the Kimi API. Moonshot says full K3.1 Pro weights will be released by 2026-11-04. Kimi Enterprise access to K3.1 Pro is off by default. The launch post does not publish token prices.
- Muse GlimmerMetaMeta Superintelligence Labs’ Muse Glimmer — Apache-2.0 ~30B dense multimodal agent model for on-device and single-GPU local agents. Sibling to closed Muse Spark and Muse Wonder; distinct from Llama 4.
- Qwen3AlibabaAlibaba’s Qwen3 family spanning Qwen3.8-Max (2.4T MoE / 95B active; live cloud alias qwen3.8-max routes to the 0902 snapshot as of 2026-09-05), open Qwen3.8-27B (dense VLM, Apache-2.0), Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (125B / 6B active multimodal MoE + 51B n-gram embeddings)—a Qwen4 architecture preview—and Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash (hosted 2026-09-17: text/image/audio/video in, text out, 1M context; API id qwen3.8-omni-flash). Production Qwen3.8-Flash on QwenCloud adds 1M-default context and built-in tools atop the Flash-Next design.
