$HK1810 Xiaomi Phases Out Older AI Models as MiMo V2.6 Takes Over đŸ€–

Xiaomi has announced the retirement of its MiMo-V2.5-Pro and MiMo-V2.5 AI models, directing developers toward the newer V2.6 series. Beginning October 14, requests using the older model names will automatically route to their replacements, before the legacy names become invalid on October 21.

The migration pairs MiMo-V2.5-Pro with MiMo-V2.6-Pro and MiMo-V2.5 with MiMo-V2.6-Flash. Xiaomi says the updated models offer stronger reasoning capabilities and improved cost efficiency, while maintaining the previous generation’s API pricing. ⚙ Developers will need to check their integrations and test the new versions to avoid disruptions when the old model IDs are retired.

The move advances Xiaomi’s effort to expand beyond consumer electronics into AI software and developer services. Its MiMo models support tasks including reasoning, coding, multimodal understanding and tool use, placing the company in competition with other providers of AI models and infrastructure. 🔬
