"The api pricing for mimo-v2-pro and mimo-v2-omni remain unchanged" could we presume this means the discount isn't from hardware improvement or availability ?

#52That's deliberate. US AI companies have no chance of recouping even fraction of their valuations. PS: Have not tried this but Deepseev4 Flash (not even Deepseekv4 Pro version) with set to "high" has pretty much Claud Opus 4.7 level of capabilities and is lightening fast and dirty cheap. Hours and hours of conversation barely costs few cents.
DeepSeek Flash on high (not max) is a freak of nature indeed.
Very disproportionate intelligence-to-cost ratio.
I'm leveraging this temporary anomaly and using it as my coding workhorse.

#53How realistic is this: Chinese models incidentally slurps up some terms that lead them to finding unflattering words that you wrote about the CCP in a random journal entry, or maybe a social media csv export. You go to China one day and are denied entry due to what you said. Realistic or no? (yes i know the us is getting bad in re. to what you write online as well) Models hosted in China are a siren call that I don't…
Well, at least for the Chinese models you can run them locally vs. the US models that requires you to go through their servers. But to answer your question:
> How realistic is this:
Completely unrealistic unless you are a high value target (journalist, spy, business man, etc...)

#54interesting/funny: their off-peak rates apply 00:00-08:00 Beijing time, so nine-to-five for someone on the NA west coast :p
China has a population of 1.4B, US is 349M. 0-8 Beijing time is their off-peak? How is that funny, that's literally how timezones work?
It's funny, in a good way, because their off-peak times match perfectly the werstern peak demand.

#55Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean the AI companies probably just want to make American model pricing look ridiculous in comparison (it's working imo). I think the government probably wants actually-useful AI that could be put into chips and actually revolutionize factory work or mining or whatever. Large, SOTA models are not gonna change factory work but extremely efficient and optimized models may Every industry-wide scale technological revol…
> I mean the AI companies probably just want to make American model pricing look ridiculous in comparison (it's working imo) I really don't think China cares about that. Chinese government's governance logic is making everything so cheap that everyone can get and use it. They did it with EVs and other things. Now they are doing it with the AI.
They do want to see the American bubble burst, this is the quickest way

#56I worked part time with MiMo 2.5-pro over the last month, and barely managed to use 500 Million of the 700 Million tokens I had allocated. My plan was just upgraded to 38 BILLION tokens per month. That's at least 10X the tokens I've used in my entire agentic development so far. I should probably downgrade my plan, but we'll see. :)
Did you not get 38B units? And a token = 2.5 unit (cache hit) or up to 600 unis (cache miss)
Yeah, I think they did switch the unit type.

#57So exactly same as deepseek 4 api pricing
One difference is that MiMo 2.5 (non-Pro) has image, audio and video input capabilities.
DeepSeek does not understand image, audio or video.

#59Everyone already said what I wanted to say. That all US companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, MS Copilot) have increased price recently while Chinese companies (Deepseek, Xiaomi) are reducing price. The question is how they are managing to do so? They are supposed to struggle due to chip sanctions. Secondly, why now? The US companies were supposed to subsidize too but now they are unable to keep up. Everyone going to…
The state of the art models (mostly GPT 5.5, but also Gemini and Claude) are better so they cost more. Qwen 3.7 Max is their only direct competition and it is not any cheaper.

#60The price cut is 50%.
