MiMo-V2-Flash is open source, scores 73.4% on SWE-Bench (#1 among open source models), and costs $0.10 per million input tokens. That's comparable to Claude Sonnet at 3.5% of the price.
MiMo-V2-Pro ranks #3 globally on agent benchmarks behind Claude Opus 4.6, with a 1M token context window, at $1/$3 per million tokens. Opus charges $5/$25 for similar performance.
