Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 Xiaomi, the company best known for making mobile phones, just dropped the most powerful open-weight model in the world. It’s called Mimo version 2.6, and it can build interactive games, models in Blender, and beautiful interactive websites. So, let’s take a look. This one gives me Tropico vibes. We’ve also got a Zelda clone. And then, the last one is basically Teemu Assassin’s Creed. And here are a few of the models that it built in Blender. We’ve got a car, a ship, and also an architectural house design. And I also really like these web design examples. They actually don’t look AI- generated at all. The example
00:31 website here is called Salazar, which I think looks pretty incredible. I think web design is actually where the model really shines. On the artificial analysis intelligence benchmark, it beats Kimmy, DeepSeek, and even Gwen. And it also matches Grok 4.7 on extra hard, but it’s 28 times cheaper per task. We’ve got three flavors: Flash, Pro, and Pro Ultra Speed, which gives up to 20 times faster output at the same quality. Pro costs 43 cents in and 87 cents out per million tokens. So, you
01:01 can use this model for intense agentic workflows at a fraction of the cost compared to basically all closed-source models. But, the biggest downside here is actually the speed. It runs at only 54 tokens per second, and that still beats Grok, but the lightest versions of DeepSeek Flash and Gemini Flash are actually four to five times faster. So, for a fast model behind your own APIs and services, those are still probably the better pick. But, for long tasks that you need to leave running, Mimo is a fantastic choice.
