Picks and Verdict
PickMiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed
MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on)
Pick MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) inside a live tool where a person waits on the script, since it answers in half a minute for $0.177.
PickMiMo-V2.6-Pro
MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on)
Pick MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on) for batch jobs that can wait, at $0.017 a script, a tenth of UltraSpeed's price for writing the board can't tell apart.
Same spread across drafts, about the same reasoning tokens, and 95% ranges that overlap: on writing, the board cannot separate these two. MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) and MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on) sit 44 Elo apart, the #17 model of 78 and the #20 model. UltraSpeed's largest lead is substance, under two points, and MiMo-V2.6-Pro edges it on length. Each has a single setting on the board, so there's no thinking level to tune on either side. That leaves time against money. UltraSpeed returns a script in half a minute against 6.2 minutes, about twelve times faster, for about ten times the price, $0.177 against $0.017. If a script can sit in a queue overnight, I'd take the cheaper one without a second thought. If someone is waiting on the draft, say inside a live tool, the half minute is worth the extra cents.
How to Read the Writing Score, Writing Elo and 95% Ranges
Writing Score and Writing Elo. The Writing Score (0 to 100) is the weighted average of the nine metric scores: seven from the judges, Length Adherence from code and the Slop Score half from each. The Writing Elo is a rating from pairwise comparisons: on each script, each configuration's average across its drafts is compared with every other configuration's, and gaps within the draft-to-draft variation count as draws. Elo rewards winning often, so the two can put configurations in a different order.
Elo ranges. Each 95% range shows how far a configuration's Elo could move if the drafts had come out slightly differently. It comes from resampling every configuration's recorded draft scores on each reference script and ranking again. Comparing two separate ranges does not test the Elo gap between them: ranges far apart are strong evidence for the order, and overlapping ranges do not mean a tie. The reference scripts stay fixed, so the ranges say nothing about new scripts. The methodology page has the full description.
All Thinking Levels of Both Models
Every ranked configuration of MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed and MiMo-V2.6-Pro, scored on the same 10 scripts by the same four judges.
- Each row is one configuration: the model at one thinking level. The dot is its Writing Elo, a rating from pairwise comparisons of the scores on each script, and the bar is its 95% range: how far that Elo could move if the drafts had come out slightly differently.
- When two bars overlap, the board cannot order those two configurations. Bars far apart are strong evidence for the order.
- The table under the chart lists the same configurations in the same order and adds the Writing Score (the 0 to 100 consensus of the judges and code), cost, time and configuration rank (the place among all configurations on the board).
Shaded rows are the configurations chosen for the metric comparison below.
| Configuration | Writing Elo | 95% Range | Writing Score | Cost / Script | Time / Script | Reasoning Tokens | Configuration Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) | 1997 | 1954 to 2037 | 80.6 | $0.177 | 0.5 min | 10,745 | #34 |
| MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on) | 1953 | 1905 to 1997 | 80.2 | $0.017 | 6.2 min | 10,176 | #39 |
Cost is one script at the API list price of the route used, uncached and without judging. Time is the average for one accepted script, retries included.
Computed Findings Across Thinking Levels
Each finding is computed from the configurations above. Where two 95% ranges overlap, the board cannot order those two configurations.
- Best Configurations Head to Head. MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) at Elo 1997 (range 1954 to 2037) and MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on) at Elo 1953 (range 1905 to 1997) have overlapping 95% ranges, so the board cannot separate the two best configurations.
- Cheapest Configuration Overlapping the Top One. MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on), at $0.017 per script, is the cheapest configuration whose 95% range overlaps that of MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on), at $0.177 per script: 1905 to 1997 against 1954 to 2037, so the board cannot separate them. MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) costs about 10 times as much per script.
Two Chosen Configurations Compared
Pick one configuration of each model to compare their metric scores, consistency across drafts and per-script scores. Each menu starts on the model's best configuration.
Scores by Metric
MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) scores higher on seven of the nine metrics and MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on) on two. Weighted by each metric's share of the Writing Score, Substance, Accuracy & Value does the most to put MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) ahead, with a 1.8-point lead on that metric. The weight beside each metric is its share of the Writing Score.
Consistency Across Drafts
| MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) | MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on) | |
|---|---|---|
| Score spread across drafts (±) | 1.87 | 1.87 |
| Lowest script score | 78.5 Script 4 | 78.0 Script 4 |
| Highest script score | 82.3 Script 7 | 82.5 Script 9 |
| Range across scripts | 3.8 | 4.5 |
Spread is how much the Writing Score moves between a configuration's drafts, and lower is steadier. Green marks the better number in each row.
Scores by Script
Writing Score on each reference script. Gap is MiMo-V2.6-Pro UltraSpeed (thinking on) minus MiMo-V2.6-Pro (thinking on), and the higher score is in bold.

Nearby Match-Ups by Best Writing Elo
Every configuration wrote five drafts for each of the same 10 briefs, from the same prompt. Generation was closed-book, with the prompt as the only source and no web search or other tools. Each judge scores every draft once: Claude Opus 5.5 at medium effort through the Claude Code subscription, GPT-6.1 Sol at medium reasoning through the Codex CLI, GLM 5.3 Flash through OpenRouter, and Jev 1.13, a typed judge from TypeSafe that answers each metric as a multiple-choice question. The channel's finished script is their reference for the voice, and it gets no score on the board itself.
