Their models are much smaller: 1T vs 5T for the frontier models. 1T is Sonnet/Google Flash size, not Opus size.

The $0.87/M tokens price for Mimo Pro is probably subsidized.

Mimo models aren't widely available on western providers, but Kimi and Deepseek are similar sizes and cost about the same to run. They are priced $3-$4/M tokens (which is right were Google's very confused range of Flash models are priced at: between $0.40/M tokens and $9/M tokens depending on exactly which model - and you don't want the $9 one!).

Anthropic overprices Sonnet (probably because of their capacity issues). GPT 5.4 mini is $4.50/M tokens.

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.
