MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL vs Mistral Large 4

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). Provenance 15, the files sit in the XiaomiMiMo organisation, which mimo.xiaomi.com links to per the Distill listing (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results on the card. Agent guidance 5, General cautions only. Licence risk 15, MIT has no use policy, threshold or change clause. Security programme 5, Xiaomi runs a company security centre for reporting flaws, as read for the Distill listing (5). 5 + 15 + 0 + 5 + 15 + 5 = 45.

Mistral Large 4 75

File safety scores 25, safetensors only and loaded by Transformers' own code with a Jinja template. Provenance scores 15, Mistral's verified organisation with a hash on every file. Safety evaluation scores 10, refusal and prompt-injection results Mistral ran itself, listed in its 2 November technical report as internal, and red-teaming by outside firms with nothing published. Agent guidance scores 10 for a statement of what the refusals cover and a claim of trained injection resistance, with only general safeguards. Licence risk scores 10, 5 off for the Model-as-a-Service limit. The security programme scores 5 for security.txt with no public advisories. 25 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 75.

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. Xiaomi's own files are 177.74 GB. ggml-org's Q2_K is below 4 bits and isn't read. Runtimes 20, Released vLLM 0.33.0 and SGLang 0.5.23 have the mimo_v2 model and the mimo parsers, Transformers 5.22.2 has a mimo_v2_flash model, and llama.cpp b12242 has the architecture, with a GGUF from its own organisation. Builds 10, one precision from Xiaomi, the 4-bit files it releases. Terms 15, MIT in the card's metadata, an OSI licence. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and nothing to accept. Hosted 5, the card says it is on Xiaomi's MiMo Open Platform API and on OpenRouter, and Novita is live for it on Hugging Face. 5 + 20 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 65.

Mistral Large 4 50

Memory scores 0, since the smallest 4-bit build, Mistral's NVFP4, is 610 GB, about 732 GB with a fifth added, far above 256 GB. Runtimes score 10, released Transformers and llama.cpp have the architecture, while vLLM v0.33.0 and SGLang v0.5.23 still lack it, the llama.cpp build Ollama 0.40.14 pins predates it, and LM Studio has no entry. Builds score 15 for Mistral's FP8 and NVFP4 releases. Terms score 10, a modified MIT licence that is free commercially except for Model-as-a-Service businesses. Download scores 10 with no gate, and hosted too scores 5 because Mistral's API serves these weights. 0 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 50.

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. Tool-calling format 25, the card names the parser to use in two runtimes: the mimo tool-call parser in SGLang and in vLLM, with auto tool choice, and both ship it in a release. Trained tool calling 20, the card describes reinforcement learning on coding and general agent tasks across several harnesses, and the template renders every call in a turn. Structured output 0, Nothing on the card about JSON or schema-constrained output. Reasoning control 10, the template has an enable_thinking switch and keeps reasoning_content, and the card names the mimo reasoning parser for SGLang and vLLM, which returns the reasoning apart from the answer. Context 10, 1M tokens per the card's model summary, and 1,048,576 positions in config.json. 20 + 25 + 20 + 0 + 10 + 10 = 85.

Mistral Large 4 95

The chat template is in the repository (20). The card documents how tools are declared and come back and names the parser (25), and the template renders several calls in one turn (20). Strict JSON Schema output is documented with how to ask for it (15). Reasoning effort is budgeted per request with the reasoning returned apart from the answer (10). Context scores 5, because the 1M window comes from YaRN scaling and the technical report gives 40K as the longest pretraining sequence. 20 + 25 + 20 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 95.

MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 59

Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card. Training data 5, A description of the training method with no data sources, sizes or cut-off. Last change 20, the last commits, on 28 October 2026, updated the card, 13 days before this check. Responsiveness 5, Of the 13 most recent discussions that aren't pull requests (21 September to 6 November 2026), 3 have a reply from a XiaomiMiMo member, which is a few. Version policy 5, MiMo-V2.5 stays in its own repositories and V2.6 came out in new ones, with no dated note on the older cards that we read. File health 10, Config, template and card agree on the architecture and the 1M context, and two early faults (invalid JSON in the draft model's config, preprocessor values) were fixed in commits that say so. 14 + 5 + 20 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 59.

Mistral Large 4 64

The card covers intended use, architecture, parameters, context and languages, and misses limitations and a cut-off (14). Training data is described by its mix in the technical report, with no sources, cut-off or filtering (5). The files changed on 2 November 2026, when the report was added (20). A Mistral member replied in three of nine discussions (10). It's a first release with older Large models in their own repositories and no dated note (5), and the files agree with each other and the card (10). 14 + 5 + 20 + 10 + 5 + 10 = 64.
