[AINews] Xiaomi MiMo-V2.6-Pro 1T-A42B: the new top Open Weights model, trained for $3M
Xiaomi’s MiMo-V2.6-Pro is being framed as an unusually strong open-weights release, with its RL stack nearly as notable as the model.
Latent Space says Artificial Analysis placed MiMo-V2.6-Pro at the top of its open-weights Intelligence Index, with 1.02T total parameters and 42B active. The note highlights Xiaomi’s native omnimodal models, MIT licensing, and a reported RL run costing about $2.6M to $3M. Xiaomi also plans to open-source the training environments and recipes, though the full 7K-plus task datasets have not yet been released. The piece treats the release as a surprise from a company not usually counted among China’s main AI frontier labs.
