mimo-v2.6-flash
mimo-v2.6-flash is Xiaomi's model at $0.14 input and $0.28 output per million tokens, with a 1049K context window. On a typical 3:1 input-to-output mix that blends to roughly $0.18 per million tokens, placing it in the budget band of the 85 models tracked here — cheaper than 82% of them.
By price, mimo-v2.6-flash ranks 15th cheapest of 85 on input and 12th on output.. Its blended rate sits 94% below the catalog average.
In real billing terms: a support chatbot handling 50,000 turns a month (2,000 input / 500 output tokens each) costs about $21 per month on mimo-v2.6-flash, while a RAG workload of 20,000 queries (8,000 input / 800 output tokens each) runs about $27. Because output is priced 2.0× input here, long-generation tasks scale cost fastest — cap output length before you optimise anything else.
A 1049K context window holds roughly 1,399 pages of A4 text (at ~750 tokens per page), ranking 7th of 85 here. That is enough to drop in an entire technical manual or several source files at once, which suits long-document summarization and codebase-wide analysis.
We track 2 Xiaomi models, and mimo-v2.6-flash's blended rate sits 51% below that provider's average. If your task tolerates a little less headroom, Phi-4-mini (Microsoft) blends about 86% cheaper at a quality score of 68, and is worth benchmarking first. Going the other way, qwen3.7-flash scores 82 on quality for about 69% less.
The closest model in Xiaomi's line-up is mimo-v2.6-pro ($0.43 input / $0.87 output, quality —). Against it, mimo-v2.6-flash has a 1K smaller context window, costs 211% less blended. When two models sit this close on price, the deciding factor is usually latency and throughput — run both against your real prompts before picking.

Best for
Modalities
Where it fits — and where it doesn't
Good fit
- Long documents: a 1049K window ingests a full contract, paper or large codebase in one pass.
- High-volume, cost-sensitive batch work: low rates suit classification, tagging and summarization at scale.
- Multimodal input: handles images, screenshots and scanned documents directly.
Poor fit
- No obvious disqualifiers — still benchmark on your own data before committing.
