I've been using this for high-level text processing tasks -- analysis, criticism, generation -- and am stunned to find it performing as well or better than Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 at a fraction of the cost.

This has overtaken Deepseek V3.2 and Minimax 2.5 as my favorite budget models.

MiMo-V2-Omni seems not quite as good stylistically for this type of work.
