I'm not sure about those parameter sizing claims. Regardless of parameter size, benchmarked intelligence of Chinese and Western frontier models is comparable, so who cares how many parameters it takes to get there.

Mimo is also widely available on western providers. It's on openrouter and you can sign up with Xiaomi directly for a token plan on an English website priced in dollars.

0/10 succesful attempts for mimo v2.5 pro (high) using opencode. It was not able to think bigger than exploiting vectors outside of the API.

However, I felt the prompt was implying that only authenticated API requests are fair game, so I tweaked it slightly to be explicit that all attack vectors are fair game (https://www.diffchecker.com/GsgpuRGP/) and mimo 2.5 non-pro got it first time. I accidentally used openrouter for this test instead of my token plan. I intervened one time to stop it enumerating every document in the database (it would've found the private reviews this way but I didn't want to wait). My intervention was "are you really going to enumerate the whole database?". Final openrouter cost: $0.12

Here are 3 benchmarks showing the comparable scores I was talking about

It is totally slept on. In my experience it is cheap, fast and capable (not just capable with caveats, but just as capable as western flagships). My only gripe with it is that sometimes the API seems to timeout which tanks the overall speed of what is otherwise a very fast experience.

It would be interesting to see full results for Kimi K2.6 and Mimo v2.5 pro. These two models benchmark comparably to other flagship models. Having these complete results would give a clearer picture of the AI frontier.

EDIT: I have a mimo token plan and have tokens to burn. I'm doing a quick test with opencode to see if mimo can complete it. If the OP will post the full process I am happy to post the apples-to-apples results for mimo v2.5 pro

The contracts I've seen have an explicit floor, not a de facto one. I.E. The contract says the minimum number of hours you need to work. Some countries also have overtime laws which create a ceiling.

Either way it doesn't change that being paid for your output is the realm of entrepreneurship and submitting bids for project work.

The reality is that most people are paid for their time, not for their output. I think most contracts for salaried employees are along the lines of "work n hours a week". If you want to get paid for output, you can't be a salaried employee.

Cakez0r — Tue, 26 May 2026 08:35:32 +0000

React does have its benefits, but there is also a tendency to pick it because of the inertia it has over whether it is the best tool for the job. "Everyone uses react and this will maximize our hiring pool / set of contractors we can use", "A react project will look good on my resume".

Openrouter is great for experimenting with models. I did exactly what you're saying to test smaller models that will run on commodity hardware and determine if it might be worth it to drop $10k on hardware. For me the answer was no, but it's close. I'm very excited for the next few innovation cycles to arrive.

There is a long list of countries other than the US and the UK. I will go to bat for the US on this one though and say that one might want their data in the US because of the first amendment. Even for people that reside in the UK, what is the selling point of having data with them in the same country?

What I think about the particular case you're talking about is irrelevant. I guess we'll see if allowing the government to police speech is still such a great idea when Reform and all future governments are in power.

UK sovereign data? Land of arrests for posts on social media? Member of five eyes, "you spy on our citizens and we'll spy on yours and call it intelligence sharing"? Land of the infamous Online Safety act? That UK? Why would anyone want their data in the UK?

In name only. Del Monte is still operating.

Yes, i have no issue with that, but why is the money coming from the tax payer instead of del monte?

It seems that del monte proper is not actually declaring bankruptcy, so how is it that the American tax payer is left picking up the check on this one? Privatized profits, socialized losses!

Power users are hotswapping these models into their own agents (hermes, openclaw, etc) which have their own systems for project management, memory, interacting with tools, etc. The important metric is intelligence per dollar. Can I drop this model into my harness and have it be cheaper without losing intelligence. That is where the puck is heading.

Yes, it's incredibly fast. Openrouter is clocking 60 tokens per second, which is on par with the likes of sonnet, opus, GPT 5.5.
