Xiaomi detailed how MiMo-V2.6-Pro worked with materials researchers to design new MOFs for capturing PFAS: reviewing literature and patents, proposing and checking hypotheses, and running computational dry-lab experiments. The team estimates a 10x productivity gain, cutting the R&D cycle from one month to 2-3 days. PKU Prof. Jinhu Dou called its work on par with a well-trained doctoral researcher. The team lead is a Stanford chemistry PhD who returned to China from his US battery startup.
