A Reddit user claims Xiaomi MiMo V2.6 has surpassed DeepSeek V4.1-Flash and GPT-6 on their writing benchmark — unverified, treat with caution.
- MiMo-V2.6-Pro reportedly ranks 5th of 93 models globally and 2nd among open models, scoring 2201 Elo at $0.011 per script; the model above it allegedly costs 10x more, and Fable 278x for just 129 more Elo
- Claimed to beat Grok 4.7, released around the same time at 27x the price; the cheaper MiMo-V2.6-Flash lands 13th at under $0.004
- Takeaway: if you're picking a writing model on price, this is the new floor.
