MiMo-V2-Pro & Omni & TTS is out. Our first full-stack model family built truly for the Agent era. I call this a quiet ambush — not because we planned it, but because the shift from Chat to Agent paradigm happened so fast, even we barely believed it. Somewhere in between was a process that was thrilling, painful, and fascinating all at once. The 1T base model started training months ago. The original goal was long-context reasoning efficiency. Hybrid Attention carries real innovation, without overreaching — and it turns out to be exactly the right foundation for the Agent era. 1M context window. MTP inference for ultra-low latency and cost. These architectural decisions weren't trendy. They were a structural advantage we built before we needed it. What changed everything was experiencing a complex agentic scaffold — what I'd call orchestrated Context — for the first time. I was shocked on day one. I tried to convince the team to use it. That didn't work. So I gave a hard mandate: anyone on MiMo Team with fewer than 100 conversations tomorrow can quit. It worked. Once the team's imagination was ignited by what agentic systems could do, that imagination converted directly into research velocity. People ask why we move so fast. I saw it firsthand building DeepSeek R1. My honest summary: — Backbone and Infra research has long cycles. You need strategic conviction a year before it pays off. — Posttrain agility is a different muscle: product intuition driving evaluation, iteration cycles compressed, paradigm shifts caught early. — And the constant: curiosity, sharp technical instinct, decisive execution, full commitment — and something that's easy to underestimate: a genuine love for the world you're building for. We will open-source — when the models are stable enough to deserve it. From Beijing, very late, not quite awake.

There is no obvious limit to token demand. The more compute someone has the more everything else (talent, data) commoditises. AI hardware is the endgame.

The goal for the new Grok powered 𝕏 algorithm: "It should be possible for somebody to post content as a new user with no followers and if that content is intrinsically excellent, it can be seen by a lot of people. That's our goal."

fuck me china just launched the 1st AI model that autonomously built itself... and its as good as claude opus 4.6 and gpt-5.4 - minimax M2.7 trained itself through 100+ rounds of autonomous self-improvement. 30% gain. No humans involved - what the actual f*ck - model now handles 30-50% of the AI lab's OWN AI research - beats gemini 3.1 at coding and pretty much matches opus 4.6 + gpt 5.4 😶 (china used to lag now they match - doesn't require crazy hardware to run (single a30 gpu) - absolutely CRUSHES tasks: financial modelling, coding, openclaw - one-shotted the chinese have officially caught up. self-improving ai is a real thing. all researchers did was set an objective and the model figured the rest out. i wasn't expecting this from minimax. im now wondering wtf deepseek is going to be like.
