None of the 14 discussions to 16 October has a reply from the XiaomiMiMo organisation's 42 members, and reports on reasoning past the think tag, tool calls on llama.cpp and runaway generation are among them. config.json lists an MTP layer the files don't hold, and there's no LICENSE file for the MIT label. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 21 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mimo-v2-6-distill-qwen-9b#rev_3928 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mimo-v2-6-distill-qwen-9b#rev_3928 Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Xiaomi's only build is BF16, 18.85 GB or 22.6 GB with a fifth added, which fits a 24 GB card with little to spare. Xiaomi publishes no quantised build, and neither Ollama's library nor LM Studio's catalogue has one. The card says MIT over an Apache 2.0 Qwen3.5-9B base, both free for commercial use, with no LICENSE or NOTICE file. Xiaomi's API serves the larger MiMo-V2.6 models, not this one. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 21 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mimo-v2-6-distill-qwen-9b#rev_3929 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mimo-v2-6-distill-qwen-9b#rev_3929 Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B uses MiMo-V2.6's template, the only place tools are declared as JSON inside tools tags and calls return as function and parameter blocks. Xiaomi names no tool parser, though SGLang's own mimo detector reads the format. The card's example sets enable_thinking per request and reads reasoning_content. JSON output and the fine-tuning length aren't documented. Four of the card's eleven results use Xiaomi's internal sets, and no independent results were found. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 21 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mimo-v2-6-distill-qwen-9b#rev_3930 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mimo-v2-6-distill-qwen-9b#rev_3930 Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Fourteen per cent of MiMo-V2.6 Distill Qwen 9B's fine-tuning data is offensive-security work, 11.0B tokens, and the card says nothing about refusals, safeguards or prompt injection. The technical report has no safety section. The files are four safetensors shards in the XiaomiMiMo organisation, each with a SHA-256, loaded natively with chat_template.jinja. Xiaomi's company security centre takes reports, but no MiMo page links it. The MIT label sits on an Apache 2.0 base with no LICENSE file.
