MiMo-V2.6-Pro ties Grok 4.7 (xHigh) and surpasses GLM‑5.3 (max) on Artificial Analysis’s Intelligence Index, becoming the benchmark’s top‑scoring open‑weight model.
Xiaomi’s MiMo‑V2.6‑Pro has emerged as the highest‑scoring open‑weight model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, tying xAI’s newly released Grok 4.7 at a score of 46 and surpassing GLM‑5.3. The result, reported by VentureBeat, places the Chinese firm’s flagship model ahead of proprietary offerings such as Grok 4.6, while also outpacing other open‑weight contenders like DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, which logged a 39.
The benchmark outcome follows Xiaomi’s debut of the MiMo‑V2.6‑Pro and Flash models earlier this week, a launch we covered on 22 September. By achieving parity with Grok 4.7 on the same day it was released, MiMo‑V2.6‑Pro demonstrates that open‑weight models can match the performance of closed‑source systems from well‑funded rivals. For developers and enterprises in the Nordics, where cost‑effective AI solutions are in high demand, the combination of strong benchmark scores, competitive pricing and an MIT licence could accelerate adoption of open‑source models in production pipelines.
The next few weeks will reveal whether the parity holds across broader evaluation suites and real‑world workloads. Observers will watch for follow‑up tests from independent labs, pricing adjustments from Xiaomi and xAI, and any strategic responses—such as new model releases or partnership announcements—from other major players. The evolving “impossible triangle” of performance, price and token efficiency is now being reshaped, and the benchmark’s spotlight on MiMo‑V2.6‑Pro suggests a more level playing field may be on the horizon.
