MiMo-V2.5 Model Documentation and Integration Guide

MiMo-V2.5 is a native omnimodal model developed by XiaomiMiMo, designed to process and understand text, image, video, and audio through a unified architecture rather than relying on “bolted-on” components for each modality.

Built on a 310-billion-parameter Sparse Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture — with only 15 billion parameters activated during inference — MiMo-V2.5 offers a strong balance of high-tier reasoning and computational efficiency. With a 1-million-token context window and agentic capabilities, it is engineered for complex multimodal perception, long-context reasoning, and autonomous workflows.

Architectural Capabilities

MiMo-V2.5 represents a meaningful step forward from its predecessor, MiMo-V2-Flash. By utilizing native, dedicated encoders for diverse data types, the model achieves a level of cohesion not commonly seen in large-scale models.

Key Technical Features

  • Native Omnimodal Encoders: Includes a 729-million-parameter Vision Transformer with hybrid window attention and a 261-million-parameter audio encoder.
  • Hybrid Attention Architecture: By interleaving Sliding Window Attention (SWA) and Global Attention (GA) in a 5:1 ratio, the model reduces KV-cache storage requirements by roughly 6× without sacrificing long-context integrity.
  • Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): Three lightweight MTP modules (329M parameters) accelerate inference through speculative decoding and improve the efficiency of reinforcement learning.
  • Advanced Training: Trained on approximately 48 trillion tokens using FP8 mixed precision, the model has undergone Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD) to perform well on agentic tasks.

Configuration Notice: Developers who downloaded the model prior to recent repository updates should re-pull the config.json and tokenizer_config.json files to ensure optimal performance and avoid degraded behavior.

Performance and Benchmarks

MiMo-V2.5 demonstrates competitive performance against frontier closed-source models, particularly in coding, temporal video reasoning, and agentic decision-making.

Agentic and Coding Performance

The model’s use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) places it near the Pareto frontier for daily agentic tasks.

Long-Context Integrity

The model supports up to 1,000,000 tokens, validated through benchmarks like Graphwalks for path-finding and retrieval. A learnable attention sink bias helps reasoning accuracy remain stable even at the 1M token limit.

Pricing and Service Tiers

Pricing is usage-based, calculated per 1 million tokens. DeepInfra offers two tiers to balance cost and priority.

Pricing Table (Per 1M Tokens)

TierInput PriceOutput PriceCached Input Price
Standard$0.40$2.00$0.08
Priority (1.5×)$0.60$3.00$0.12

Key Pricing Considerations

  • Cached Input Discount: Tokens successfully retrieved from the cache are billed at a significantly reduced rate ($0.08/1M tokens on Standard), making long-context conversations more cost-effective.
  • Priority Tier: Users requiring lower latency and prioritized processing can opt for the Priority Tier, which applies a 1.5× multiplier to all costs.
  • Free Tier: Refer to the DeepInfra Pricing Page for current free-tier availability and limitations.

Conclusion

XiaomiMiMo’s MiMo-V2.5 is a capable and versatile model for the next generation of AI applications. By combining a 1M token context window with native omnimodal understanding and an efficient MoE architecture, it gives developers frontier-model capabilities at a comparatively lower resource cost.

Whether you are building agentic workflows, analyzing hour-long videos, or processing large document sets, MiMo-V2.5 offers the performance and flexibility for professional-grade deployment.
