Darwin-36B-Opus and MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 61 (C) and 61 (C). MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL leads on agent interface. Both do open-weight models you run yourself.

- Darwin-36B-Opus: C 61, rank #43 of 160 open-weight models · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/darwin-36b-opus.min.md
- MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL: C 61, rank #75 of 160 open-weight models · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mimo-v2-6-flash-rl.min.md
- Darwin-36B-Opus, good for Reasoning-heavy text tasks on a 32 GB machine or a single 80 GB GPU, where a disclosed training method isn't required Ahead on Reach, 80 against 65; Risk, 55 against 45.
- MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL, good for Teams with a GPU server, or a provider account, that want an open agent model with a very long context Ahead on Agent interface, 85 against 70.

Why the edge:
- Reach, Darwin-36B-Opus +15: Darwin-36B-Opus 80 (Memory 20, the publisher's Q4_K_M GGUF is 21.2 GB and needs about 25.4 GB with the fifth added, so 32 GB.); MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 65 (Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits or better is ggml-org's MXFP4 GGUF, 168.93 GB with its projector, and 168.93 GB × 1.2 = 202.7 GB, within 256 GB.)
- Agent interface, MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL +15: Darwin-36B-Opus 70 (Chat template 20, Qwen3.6's Jinja template in the repository.); MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (3,868 characters), with a copy in tokenizer_config.json.)
- Risk, Darwin-36B-Opus +10: Darwin-36B-Opus 55 (File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only with no code in the repository, so the card's trust_remote_code flag loads nothing extra.); MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 45 (File safety 5, the weights are safetensors, but the dflash folder's mask_embedding.pt is a pickle beside them (15).)
