MiMo-V2.6-Flash and MiMo-V2.6-Pro share a maker, Xiaomi, but not a price sheet or a benchmark profile. Everything below is read from the benchmark, price and speed data in Franklin AI's catalogue; nothing here comes from a hands-on test. The clearest gap is on the bill: MiMo-V2.6-Pro is 3.1 times the blended price of MiMo-V2.6-Flash.

What they cost

The list prices are $0.14 in and $0.28 out for MiMo-V2.6-Flash, and $0.435 in and $0.87 out for MiMo-V2.6-Pro, per million tokens. MiMo-V2.6-Pro costs 3.1 times as much per output token.

For a sample workload of 1 million input tokens and 200,000 output tokens, MiMo-V2.6-Flash would cost $0.20 and MiMo-V2.6-Pro $0.61, a difference of $0.41. For an agent that reads 50 million tokens and writes 5 million in a month, MiMo-V2.6-Flash would come in 68% lower: $8.40 for MiMo-V2.6-Flash against $26.10 for MiMo-V2.6-Pro.

Generation gap

Both were released on September 21, 2026. Xiaomi released them together, so neither is an older generation.

How the intelligence index compares

MiMo-V2.6-Flash records 26.7 on the intelligence index and MiMo-V2.6-Pro records 29.9. That is a clear margin for an index that averages many evaluations. In relative terms, MiMo-V2.6-Pro scores 12% higher.

Among 109 active scored models, MiMo-V2.6-Flash sits 64th and MiMo-V2.6-Pro 55th.

Neither model has a separate coding or math index recorded yet, so those narrower comparisons will have to wait for more data.

Score per dollar

Per point of intelligence index, MiMo-V2.6-Flash costs $0.0066 of blended price per million tokens and MiMo-V2.6-Pro $0.018. MiMo-V2.6-Pro costs 2.8 times as much per point, which is the price of its lead.

MiMo-V2.6-Pro is the faster writer

MiMo-V2.6-Flash generates about 36 tokens per second and MiMo-V2.6-Pro about 41 tokens per second. MiMo-V2.6-Pro is ahead by 15% on throughput. The wait for the first token averages 3.5 seconds on MiMo-V2.6-Flash against 3.0 seconds on MiMo-V2.6-Pro.

Put together, an 800-token answer would take about 26 seconds from MiMo-V2.6-Flash and 23 seconds from MiMo-V2.6-Pro, counting the first-token wait.
