Access Xiaomi: MiMo-V2-Flash (free) via OpenRouter
MiMo-V2-Flash is an open-source foundation language model developed by Xiaomi. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model with 309B total parameters and 15B active parameters, adopting hybrid attention architecture. MiMo-V2-Flash supports a hybrid-thinking toggle and a 256K context window, and excels at reasoning, coding, and agent scenarios. On SWE-bench Verified and SWE-bench Multilingual, MiMo-V2-Flash ranks as the top #1 open-source model globally, delivering performance comparable to Claude Sonnet 4.5 while costing only about 3.5% as much. Note: when integrating with agentic tools such as Claude Code, Cline, or Roo Code, **turn off reasoning mode** for the best and fastest performance—this model is deeply optimized for this scenario. Users can control the reasoning behaviour with the `reasoning` `enabled` boolean. [Learn more in our docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/use-cases/reasoning-tokens#enable-reasoning-with-default-config).
