Xiaomi released and open-sourced its MiMo-V2.6 series of generative AI models, which includes two natively omnimodal models.
AI brief
Xiaomi released MiMo-V2.6-Pro, an openly available AI model that tops open model rankings at a much lower price than competitors, trained with reinforcement learning that cost $2.62 million.
Why it matters: It shows an affordable flagship AI model can lead openly available models, though the model's success came with a catch involving Anthropic.
