MiMo V2.6 Flash Overview

MiMo-V2.6-Flash is the efficiency-oriented checkpoint of Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.6 series, a natively omnimodal foundation model that accepts text, image, video, and audio in a single model and supports a one million token context window. The language backbone is a sparse mixture-of-experts transformer with roughly 309 billion total parameters and 15 billion activated per token, organized as 48 layers with 256 routed experts and top-8 routing. It uses a hybrid attention scheme that interleaves sliding window attention with global attention layers to cut key-value cache cost on long sequences, and pairs the backbone with a vision encoder, an audio encoder, and an audio tokenizer, plus a multi-token prediction module and a draft model for faster decoding.

MiMo V2.6 Flash Pricing

MiMo V2.6 Flash costs $0.140 per 1M input tokens and $0.280 per 1M output tokens.

Deploy MiMo V2.6 Flash with an API

MiMo V2.6 Flash runs as a hosted REST endpoint through Roboflow Workflows. Pick a task, then hand the prompt to your coding agent or copy the code. Deploying the workflow into a free Roboflow workspace replaces the your-workspace and YOUR_API_KEY placeholders with your own.

Connect your agent to Roboflow (once)

Add the Roboflow MCP server

claude mcp add --transport http roboflow https://mcp.roboflow.com/mcp

Run /mcp and authorize Roboflow in your browser when the OAuth flow opens.

Start a new Claude Code session so the MCP loads, then paste the prompt below (it works the same in any agent).

Deploy this workflow to your Roboflow workspace to use it.

Integrate the Roboflow "MiMo V2.6 Flash" workflow into my app.

- Endpoint: POST https://serverless.roboflow.com/<your-workspace>/workflows/mimo-v2-6-flash-captioning
- Auth: send my Roboflow API key as `api_key` in the request body, read from the ROBOFLOW_API_KEY env var (never hardcode).
- Body: { "api_key": ..., "inputs": { `image`: { type: "url" | "base64", value } } }.
- Billing: this workflow needs no provider API key — inference runs on my Roboflow credits. A BYO provider key can be added to the model step in the Roboflow workflow editor later.

With the Roboflow MCP connected, call `workflows_get` on "mimo-v2-6-flash-captioning" to read the exact input schema (the source of truth), then `workflows_run` on a sample image to confirm the output shape before writing code (the MCP is authenticated, so this needs no key). Without the MCP, use the contract above.

Before running the app, set up these keys so it does not error at runtime:
- `ROBOFLOW_API_KEY` (sent as `api_key`) from https://app.roboflow.com/settings/api
Create a .gitignore'd .env with these variables, using placeholder values for any I haven't given you. Then pause and tell me directly, in your reply: the full path to the .env file, exactly which keys I need to paste in, and the link to get each one. Wait for me to confirm I've added them before you run anything. Do not run the app until I confirm.

Then add the integration to my codebase: match my project's language, framework, and conventions; read every key from environment variables (never hardcode); add basic error handling; and include a small runnable example. If you can't tell what language my project uses, ask me.
Installpip install inference-sdk

Deploy this workflow to your Roboflow workspace to use it.

# Inference runs on your Roboflow credits — no provider API key needed. To bill your own provider account instead, add an api_key to the model step in the Roboflow workflow editor.

Frequently Asked Questions About MiMo V2.6 Flash Vision

Yes. MiMo V2.6 Flash accepts image input and handles OCR, object counting, identification, visual reasoning, and object detection. On Roboflow's Vision Evals its strongest task is OCR at 49.7% (#46 of 49 at low effort). You can test it on your own image in the demo above.

Yes. it scores 49.7% (#46 of 49 at low effort) on Vision Evals OCR, which covers single readings, full transcriptions, structured JSON, and locating text with boxes. Within that, full transcriptions score 72.5%, and returning the fields of a label or form as JSON scores 68.6%.

Not its strength. On Vision Evals, MiMo V2.6 Flash scores 37.8% mAP@50 on object detection (#52 of 65 at low effort) and 49.6% judge-graded accuracy on object counting. For production counting or precise localization, pairing it with a specialized detector like RF-DETR or your own trained model in a Roboflow Workflow is usually more reliable: detect the objects, then count the detections.

On our benchmark's task mix, MiMo V2.6 Flash averages $0.0003 per sample at $0.14 per 1M input and $0.28 per 1M output tokens (#6 of 65 on cost), with an average speed of 16.3s per sample across the benchmark. Actual cost depends on your images and prompts.

On the overall Vision Evals ranking, MiMo V2.6 Flash sits #57 of 65 at 49.2%, just behind MiMo V2.6 Pro (50.3%) and just ahead of GLM-4.6V Flash (48.8%). See the full side-by-side: MiMo V2.6 Flash vs MiMo V2.6 Pro.
