What happened

Xiaomi's MiMo documentation announced that MiMo-V2.5-Pro and MiMo-V2.5 were taken offline on October 21, 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8. Since October 14, 2026 at 18:00 UTC+8, API requests to these models have been automatically routed to MiMo-V2.6-Pro and MiMo-V2.6-Flash respectively. MiMo-V2.6-Pro supports multimodal understanding, whereas MiMo-V2.5-Pro only supported text input. MiMo-V2.6-Flash has different default parameter values compared to MiMo-V2.5.

Technical significance

MiMo-V2.6-Pro expands input modality from text-only to multimodal understanding, while MiMo-V2.6-Flash changes default parameter values. In thinking mode, MiMo-V2.6-Flash and MiMo-V2.6-Pro do not support temperature and top_p parameters.

Industry impact

Developers using Xiaomi's MiMo API must update their applications to handle multimodal inputs and changed default parameters, as the old text-only models are no longer available.

Decision value

Existing MiMo API users get automatic access to improved models without changing API parameters, but must adapt to multimodal responses and new defaults.

What to watch

Check Xiaomi's MiMo documentation for details on MiMo-V2.6-Pro's multimodal capabilities and MiMo-V2.6-Flash's new default parameter values.
