the gist
Xiaomi has cut API prices by up to 99% and significantly increased credit allocations for its Mimo V2.5 Pro coding-focused token plans, offering a budget-friendly option for prototyping and agent workflows despite mediocre visual front-end performance.
Pricing and Token Plan Structure
Xiaomi has permanently reduced API pricing for the Mimo V2.5 series, with Mimo V2.5 Pro now costing $0.435 per million uncached input tokens and $0.28 per million output tokens. The company also upgraded its subscription-based Token Plan, which is specifically intended for AI programming tools like Claude Code and Open Code. The entry-level Light plan costs $6 per month and provides 4.1 billion credits.
Credit consumption rates vary significantly by model and token type:
- Mimo V2.5 Pro: 2.5 credits per cached input token, 300 credits per uncached input token, and 600 credits per output token.
- Mimo V2.5: 2 credits per cached input token, 1,000 credits per uncached input token, and 200 credits per output token.
Model Performance and Use Cases
While the pricing is aggressive, the Mimo V2.5 Pro model shows mixed results in practical application. In testing, the model successfully handled basic logic tasks, such as an interactive elevator simulation, but struggled with design-heavy prompts like product landing pages or visual product concepts. The model is best suited for low-cost prototyping, agent experiments, and background coding tasks where cost efficiency is prioritized over high-fidelity visual output. Users should note that the Token Plan is restricted to coding workflows and is not intended for general production back-end services.
