Xiaomi extends MiMo UltraSpeed beta trial
Xiaomi has extended the closed-beta trial of MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, its model advertised at 1,000 tokens per second, saying developer demand outran what it expected.
Xiaomi announced that it is extending the limited-time trial of MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, a faster version of its MiMo-V2.5-Pro model that the company says runs at about 1,000 tokens per second.
The page carrying the notice is titled as a release of three new MiMo-V2.6 models. The notice itself never mentions V2.6 and gives no details about any new models.
Xiaomi says it had received more than 66,000 applications for access as of June 23. According to the company, they came from Fortune Global 500 companies, other large enterprises and individual developers in law, finance, communications, logistics, car manufacturing, media and higher education. Xiaomi has not broken down these figures, and no one outside the company has checked them or the speed claim.
During the extension, developers can still apply for the closed beta, and approved users keep their access. Pricing stays at the trial rate: three times the price of MiMo-V2.5-Pro, for output Xiaomi says is about 10 times faster. Approved users can also keep using a free chat interface for a limited time.
Xiaomi says a commercial version is coming "soon" but did not give a date or pricing. It also did not say when the trial will end. The company said that will depend on available resources and that it will tell users in advance so they have time to move off the service. It asked businesses that want large-scale commercial use to contact its MiMo business team.
