Xiaomi's MiMo-V2-Pro hits OpenRouter — Opus benchmarks, budget price
Xiaomi's 1T+ param frontier model lands on OpenRouter at $1/$3 per million tokens, with coding that beats Claude Sonnet.
MiMo-V2-Pro is Xiaomi's 1T+ parameter flagship, now live on OpenRouter at $1/M input, $3/M output — roughly 20x cheaper than Claude Opus on output tokens. It packs a 1M context window and is optimized for agentic use cases.
Benchmarks put its coding above Claude Sonnet 4.6, with general agent performance (ClawEval) approaching Opus 4.6. Xiaomi already accounts for 21.1% of all OpenRouter traffic — nearly 3x OpenAI's 7.5% share — suggesting adoption is real, not hype.
This is the fourth major Chinese frontier model to ship in roughly a month, alongside Moonshot, Alibaba, and Z.ai. The pattern is clear: Chinese labs are compressing the cost curve fast.
Why it matters: If MiMo-V2-Pro's benchmarks hold in production, it resets expectations for what "budget" frontier access looks like in 2026.
