Overview

What is MiMo V2.6 Flash?

MiMo V2.6 Flash is the efficient model in Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.6 series: 15B active parameters and 1M tokens of context. The MiMo V2.6 Flash API on Zurelay takes text and images and is for teams running high-volume or latency-sensitive workloads who want near-Pro agent results at 46% below Xiaomi's list price.

MiMo V2.6 Flash is the efficient model in Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.6 series, released alongside Pro on September 22, 2026. Xiaomi built it to read text, images, video and audio; the MiMo V2.6 Flash API on Zurelay takes text and images, returns text, and supports a 1M-token context window with up to 128K output tokens. Xiaomi positions it as the best balance for high-frequency calls and large-scale tasks.

It is a sparse mixture-of-experts model with 309B total parameters and 15B active per token, spread across 48 layers that mix sliding-window and global attention. The small active size keeps it quick and cheap to serve. The weights are open under the MIT license.

Flash was trained the same way as Pro: one mixed reinforcement learning run across coding, general agents, visual tasks and cybersecurity. It stays close to Pro on agent work. Xiaomi reports 87.6 on Terminal Bench 2.1 against Pro's 89.9, 80.8 on OSWorld-Verified against 82.0, and 95.1 on CyberGym, slightly above Pro.

Its list price is about a third of Pro's. On Zurelay you call it with any OpenAI SDK using the model ID mimo-v2.6-flash, and pay $0.075 per 1M input tokens and $0.15 per 1M output tokens, against Xiaomi's list price of $0.14 and $0.28.

Strengths

Where MiMo V2.6 Flash shines. And what teams build with it.

01

Near-Pro agent scores

Xiaomi's own results put Flash within a few points of Pro on Terminal Bench 2.1, DeepSWE v1.1 and OSWorld-Verified.

02

Low cost per call

15B active parameters and a list price about a third of Pro's make it practical for high-volume pipelines.

03

Image input

Text and images fit in one request, so screenshots and photos go in with the prompt.

04

1M-token context

Long documents, repositories and agent traces fit in one prompt, with room for 128K output tokens.

Use cases

  • High-volume extraction and tagging

    Tag, route or pull fields from large streams of text or images at a low cost per call.

  • Sub-agents

    Use Flash for the frequent tool-calling steps in an agent system and keep Pro for planning or final review.

  • Screenshot and image questions

    Ask questions about screenshots, charts and photos directly, without a separate vision step.

  • Coding helpers

    Run code review, test generation and terminal helpers where latency and cost per call matter.

Is there a cheaper Xiaomi MiMo API?

Zurelay serves mimo-v2.6-flash at 46% below Xiaomi's list price. You pay as you go for the tokens you use, and credit you buy doesn't expire while your account is open.

How do I call the MiMo V2.6 Flash API with the OpenAI SDK?

Set the OpenAI SDK's base URL to https://api.zurelay.com/v1, use your Zurelay API key and pass model "mimo-v2.6-flash". Tool calls and streaming work the same way they do with OpenAI models.

What is the MiMo V2.6 Flash context window?

MiMo V2.6 Flash has a 1M-token context window and returns up to 128K output tokens per response, the same limits as Pro.

What is MiMo V2.6 Flash best at?

High-frequency and large-scale work: agents that make many calls, extraction and tagging jobs, and image analysis. Xiaomi trained it on coding, general agents, visual tasks and cybersecurity, and it scores close to Pro on Xiaomi's agent benchmarks.

Should I use MiMo V2.6 Flash or MiMo V2.6 Pro?

Both have the same context window, input types and features. Pro has 1.02T total and 42B active parameters and scores a little higher on most of Xiaomi's agent benchmarks. Flash has 309B total and 15B active, costs about a third as much at list price and is the better default for volume.

Is MiMo V2.6 Flash open source?

Yes. Xiaomi released the weights on Hugging Face under the MIT license. You can use the API today and move to self-hosting later on the same model.

Does the MiMo V2.6 Flash API support streaming and per-key rate limits?

Streaming works with stream: true, as with the OpenAI API. You can set a requests-per-minute cap and a monthly budget on each Zurelay API key.

Is it the same MiMo V2.6 Flash model Xiaomi serves?

Yes. Requests go to MiMo V2.6 Flash. Zurelay doesn't swap in a substitute model. Only smart routing, which you turn on yourself, can answer with a close alternative when the model is down, and the x-zurelay-model header names the model that answered. Responses are sampled, so wording varies between runs, as it does on Xiaomi's own platform. Zurelay is independent and not affiliated with Xiaomi.
