Xiaomi's new open model tops every downloadable AI in the world.
Xiaomi released MiMo-V2.6 on Tuesday and published the weights, so anyone can download and run it. The benchmark firm Artificial Analysis scored it 46, up from 26 for its predecessor, the best open mark. That ties SpaceXAI's Grok 4.7, launched a day earlier, though top paid models still score 53.
Why it mattersA model you can run yourself now sits one rung below the best paid systems. That pushes the price of good AI toward the cost of the hardware.
