Xiaomi's MiMo team has self-distilled MiMo-V2.6 into a Qwen 9B architecture and released the open-source MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B on Hugging Face.
The poster calls it a serious move: distilling large-model capability into an open 9B model makes high-quality performance accessible for local deployment at small scale. Benchmarks and details are on the Hugging Face page.
