Xiaomi's MiMo-V2-Pro: 1T params, $1/M tokens, 1M context
Xiaomi drops a trillion-parameter frontier model on OpenRouter at 97% lower cost than Claude Opus — the fourth Chinese lab to ship in a month.
MiMo-V2-Pro is Xiaomi's flagship model: over 1 trillion parameters, a 1M-token context window, and benchmark scores that rival Claude Opus 4.6 — at $1/M input and $3/M output tokens.
It joins a rapid-fire wave of Chinese frontier releases: Moonshot, Alibaba, and Z.ai all shipped in the same month. Each one is underpricing Western labs by a wide margin while closing the capability gap fast.
MiMo is optimized for agentic workloads — long-context reasoning, multi-step task execution, production engineering. It's not a research drop; it's built to run in pipelines today, available via the OpenRouter API.
Why it matters: Chinese labs are no longer chasing benchmarks — they're undercutting on price while matching on performance, putting real pressure on Anthropic and OpenAI's API pricing strategies.
