Which one, for what
Best for Researchers and agents that want a small coding and terminal-agent model to fine-tune further, on a 24 GB GPU or larger.
Ahead on
- Reach, 70 against 55
Watch for
Only BF16 from Xiaomi, about 23 GB to run
Best for Agents with about 96 GB of GPU memory, or the 128 GB reference machine, that want an Apache-tagged 33B model for long coding and tool loops and can wait for independent results.
Ahead on
- Agent interface, 85 against 70
- Documentation and upkeep, 56 against 40
Watch for
No independent benchmark result yet; every agentic number on the card is Nanbeige's own run

Verdicts
MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B
A 9B cousin tuned on MiMo-V2.6's agent work for coding, terminal tasks and visual coding, released as a base for RL research. It needs about 23 GB in BF16, since Xiaomi ships no smaller build. The main risks are no safety results while a seventh of its tuning is offensive security, and nobody at Xiaomi answering reports.
Nanbeige4.3-33B
A dense 33B Llama-architecture cousin for long agentic coding and office tasks, with per-request thinking, XML tool calls that stock vLLM and SGLang parse, and 512K of context. It needs about 96 GB at BF16, as Nanbeige ships no quantised build. Its agentic results so far are Nanbeige's own, with no safety results, training data notes or licence file.
Before you call either
MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B
- Serve it as the card does,
sglang serve --model-path XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B --reasoning-parser mimo, and add--tool-call-parser mimofor parsed tool calls - SGLang's mimo reasoning parser expects thinking to be asked for, so pass
chat_template_kwargswithenable_thinkingtrue, as the card does, and readreasoning_content - Calls come back as function and parameter blocks inside tool_call, the same shape vLLM's and SGLang's qwen3_coder parsers read
- The generation config samples at temperature 0.6, top_k 20 and top_p 0.95
- Images and video go in through Qwen3.5's processor; the template's audio tokens have no audio encoder behind them
- The MTP head isn't in the files, so skip MTP speculative decoding even though config.json lists a layer
- It's an SFT checkpoint meant for further RL, and discussions report runaway generation on llama.cpp, so cap max_tokens
Nanbeige4.3-33B
- Serve with
vllm serve Nanbeige/Nanbeige4.3-33B --enable-auto-tool-choice --reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder, as the card says, or SGLang with the same two parsers - Keep
tool_call_formatat its defaultxml, since qwen3_coder parses that format; thejsonoption writes Hermes-style JSON calls, which need a different parser such as vLLM's hermes - Pass
chat_template_kwargs{"preserve_thinking": true}for multi-turn tool use and coding, and{"enable_thinking": false}to skip reasoning, as the card recommends - Use temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and up to 65,536 new tokens for agent work, and temperature 0.6 for reasoning and chat, per the card
- Send your own system prompt, since without one the template injects a Chinese identity line, or a Chinese tool-expert prompt when tools are passed
- Send one system message at the start only, as the template raises an error for a later one
- In plain Transformers pass
use_cache=Trueto generate, since config.json and generation_config.json set it false; trust_remote_code isn't needed
