MiMo-V2.6-Flash

xiaomi/mimo-v2.6-flash

Straight answers in under 3 seconds, for high-volume work

MiMo-V2.6-Flash is the small sibling of Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.6-Pro, released the same day in September 2026. It keeps the one-million-token window and image input, but answers without a thinking phase: under 2.5 seconds in our tests.

It calls tools and returns clean JSON. A good fit for pulling amounts and references out of payment text messages, sorting tickets, and summarising or translating at scale. It is one of the most affordable models in the catalogue, available from the free plan.

On Tchavi you pay with mobile money, with no international card and no KYC, and one API key covers 80+ models. It is OpenAI-compatible: change the base URL, keep your SDK.

Example prompts

  • Extract the sender, amount and reference from these 500 payment text messages and return a JSON array.

  • Sort these support tickets by urgency: high, medium or low, with one sentence of justification each.

  • Read this photo of a receipt and return the merchant, the date and the total as JSON.

Good to know

  • It does not think before answering: for multi-step reasoning, pick MiMo-V2.6-Pro or DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.
  • It reads images but not PDFs: extract the text first, or pick a model that accepts documents.

Frequently asked questions

MiMo-V2.6-Flash or MiMo-V2.6-Pro?

Flash answers directly, without thinking, and costs less. Pro (model: "mimo-v2.6-pro") thinks briefly before answering. Start with Flash for extraction and sorting, and move to Pro if the quality falls short.

Is it available on the free plan?

Yes. It is in the budget group, open from the free plan.

Does it read images and PDFs?

Images, yes. PDFs, no: it takes text and images in and returns text.

How large are its context and its answers?

Up to 1,048,576 input tokens, and up to 131,072 tokens per answer.

How do I call MiMo-V2.6-Flash with my OpenAI SDK?

Point the base URL at Tchavi, use your Tchavi key and set model: "mimo-v2.6-flash" on /v1/chat/completions. The rest of your code stays the same.

Can I pay with mobile money, without a bank card?

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.

API

import Tchavi from '@tchavi/sdk';

const client = new Tchavi({ apiKey: 'API_KEY' });

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'mimo-v2.6-flash',
  messages: [
  {
    "role": "user",
    "content": "Hello!"
  }
],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
console.log('Credits used:', response.tchavi.credits_used);

API parameters

Every parameter this model accepts on the API. Check the SDK for full typings.

modelRequired
string

ID of the chat model (e.g. `mimo-v2.6-flash`).

messagesRequired
Array<{ role, content }>

Conversation messages. Each item has a `role` (system/user/assistant) and a `content` that's either a plain string or an array of content blocks (`text`, `image_url`, `document_url`).

temperature
number
Default: 1

Sampling temperature between 0 and 2. Higher values = more random.

max_tokens
integer

Maximum number of tokens to generate in the response.

max_completion_tokens
integer

OpenAI alias for `max_tokens`. Either field works; if both are sent, `max_completion_tokens` wins.

stream
boolean
Default: false

If true, partial message deltas are streamed as Server-Sent Events.

tools
Array<{ type, function }>

Function-calling toolbox. Pass an array of `{ type: "function", function: { name, description, parameters } }`. Returned tool calls land in `choices[].message.tool_calls`. Only models with `supportsTools: true` accept this.

tool_choice
"auto" | "none" | { type, function }

How the model picks among tools: `"auto"` (default), `"none"` to force a plain text reply, or `{ type: "function", function: { name } }` to force a specific tool. Only with `supportsTools: true`.

response_format
{ type: "json_object" | "text" }

Constrain the output. Pass `{ type: "json_object" }` to force valid JSON (the model still needs a JSON instruction in your prompt). Only models with `supportsJsonMode: true` honour this.

Show all parameters (19)
top_p
number
Default: 1

Nucleus sampling: only tokens in the top `top_p` probability mass are considered.

seed
integer

Integer seed for deterministic output. The same seed + identical request yields the same completion when supported by the provider. OpenAI honours it; Anthropic ignores.

n
integer
Default: 1

Number of completions to generate in one call. Defaults to 1; each extra completion is billed.

stream_options
{ include_usage?: boolean }

Streaming options, e.g. `{ "include_usage": true }` to receive a final SSE chunk with usage counts. Effective only when `stream: true`.

stop
string | string[]

Up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens.

frequency_penalty
number
Default: 0

Between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize tokens that have appeared frequently.

presence_penalty
number
Default: 0

Between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values encourage the model to talk about new topics.

user
string

End-user identifier passed to the upstream provider for abuse / moderation tracking. Should be stable per end-user.

logit_bias
Record<string, number>

Per-token logit bias `{ "<tokenId>": <-100..100>, ... }`. OpenAI-specific; Anthropic ignores silently.

messages[].content[].image_url
string

Attach an image on a user message. Pass a content block `{ "type": "image_url", "image_url": { "url": ... } }`. PNG / JPEG / WebP, up to 4 per request. Only models with `supportsImageInput: true` accept this block (e.g. `gpt-4o`, `claude-opus-4-7`).
