Every Xiaomi model, side by side

You probably know Xiaomi for phones, but the MiMo models write good scripts. All 3 configurations sit within 84 Elo of each other, with MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed at #28. That's a tight family: the cheapest option writes almost as well as the most expensive, so the choice comes down to things the Elo column can't show. Only MiMo-V2.6-Flash ships as open weights, which matters if you'd rather run it yourself.

All 3 configurations

Every configuration here wrote the same 10 scripts for the same four blind judges, so the writing Elo and ranks compare across the whole board, not just inside this family. A highlighted row is a model's best configuration, and the rows under it are the same model at other effort or thinking settings. Scores run 0 to 100, and cost is one full script at the API list price of the route we ran.

Which one should you use?

Here's how I'd choose. MiMo-V2.6-Flash is the value and budget pick: $0.0038 per script, open weights, and close enough to the top MiMo that I'd start there. If you can spare a bit more, MiMo-V2.6-Pro at $0.011 gets you most of the rest of the way, and it's the one I'd use for a script I'm publishing.

MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed scores about the same as the Pro, and their ranges overlap. It costs $0.122 against the Pro's $0.011, though, and what that money buys is speed: 0.4 minutes per script against 5.1. So pay for UltraSpeed only when waiting is the actual problem.

Every row links to its full scorecard, and the cross-lab match-ups live in the head-to-head comparisons.
