Side-by-side: same workload on the leading APIs
List prices as of July 20, 2026. Volume discounts, batch API rates, and provider-specific caching nuances are not included. MiMo rows use the cache-hit ratio from the slider above; competitor rows use list pricing for all input tokens.

Get started with the MiMo API
- Direct from Xiaomi: platform.xiaomimimo.com — official platform, V2.5 standard and V2.5-Pro on the public API
- OpenRouter (recommended for prototyping): openrouter.ai/models?q=XiaomiMiMo — one API key, all variants, OpenAI-compatible
- HuggingFace: huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo — open weights, Inference Endpoints, Pro tier for SLA-backed inference
- Self-host: MiMo-7B at INT4 (3.5 GB) runs on phones, smart speakers, and car cockpits — zero per-token cost
FAQ
How much does the MiMo API cost per million tokens?
As of July 2026, MiMo-V2.5-Pro list pricing is $0.42 per 1M input + $0.83 per 1M output, with cache-hit input at $0.0035 per 1M (99% off from the 2025 launch rate). MiMo-V2.5 standard is $0.14 input / $0.28 output list, with cache-hit input at $0.0028 per 1M. V2-Flash was deprecated on 2026-06-30 along with the rest of the V2 series. MiMo-7B is free under the MIT open-weight license. See the full pricing hub →
What is the cache-hit rate and how do I estimate it?
The cache-hit rate is the percentage of input tokens that benefit from prompt caching. When you send a request, the API server can match a prefix of your prompt against previously-cached tokens (system prompts, retrieved documents, conversation history) and bill those tokens at the much lower cache-hit rate. Production estimates:
- Single-shot summarization / RAG (no repeated prompt): 0–20%
- Multi-turn chat: 50–80% (most input is prior conversation)
- Agent with persistent system prompt + tool docs: 70–95%
- Code review with same file corpus each time: 80–95%
Is MiMo cheaper than Claude Opus 4.5?
Yes. MiMo-V2.5-Pro list input is ~97% cheaper than Claude Opus 4.5 ($0.42 vs $15.00 per 1M) and ~99% cheaper on cache-hit input ($0.0035 per 1M). For coding agents and long-context workloads the cost gap is even larger because MiMo's 1M context window removes the need to chunk documents.
Where can I buy the MiMo API?
Three official channels: (1) Xiaomi MiMo Platform, (2) OpenRouter, (3) HuggingFace Pro. All three expose OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
How are tokens counted?
For MiMo, one token is approximately 0.75 English words or 1.5 Chinese characters (BPE tokenizer). The calculator assumes a 3:1 input-to-output ratio is a reasonable starting estimate for chat workloads; replace it with your actual token count for production planning.
