One prompt, 62 seconds, under 5 cents: Xiaomi MiMo V2.6 Pro builds a full habit tracker in Claude Code
socialwithaayan · x · 2026-09-25
A developer gave Xiaomi's MiMo V2.6 Pro a single prompt inside Claude Code to build a habit tracker called Pulse: a 7-day check grid, streaks, a canvas chart, dark mode, and browser persistence.
The result: 592 lines in one HTML file with zero libraries, opening in the browser 62 seconds later with no hand edits. The total bill came to under 5 cents, which the author contextualizes against Xiaomi's new flagship model scoring 46 on a benchmark.
A hands-on data point for how capable cheap models have become inside real coding-agent workflows.
