MiMo-V2.5 — Local AI Model by Xiaomi

Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated September 6, 2026

Xiaomi's MIT-licensed MoE pair, and the clearest licence story at the trillion-parameter tier — MIT, not a bespoke open-weight agreement with revenue thresholds. Both carry 1M-token context and agentic multimodal capability. Consistently omitted from best-of roundups despite matching Kimi K2.6 on aggregate index scores.

MiMo-V2.5 — Frequently Asked Questions

How much VRAM does MiMo-V2.5 need?

MiMo-V2.5 needs about 188 GB VRAM at Q4_K_M quantization for its smallest variant. Variants: MiMo-V2.5 310B (188 GB, Q4_K_M); MiMo-V2.5-Pro 1T (605 GB, Q4_K_M). On Apple Silicon, unified memory counts toward this requirement.

Can I run MiMo-V2.5 on an RTX 4090 (24 GB)?

MiMo-V2.5's smallest variant needs about 188 GB, which exceeds a single RTX 4090 (24 GB). Use multiple GPUs, a higher-VRAM card, or Apple Silicon with large unified memory.

What quantization should I use for MiMo-V2.5?

Q4_K_M is the best balance of quality and VRAM for MiMo-V2.5 in most cases. Choose Q8_0 for near-lossless quality if you have spare VRAM, or smaller quants (Q3/Q2) only when memory is tight.

How do I run MiMo-V2.5 with Ollama?

Install Ollama, then run: ollama run . This downloads MiMo-V2.5 and starts a local, OpenAI-compatible endpoint — no internet connection is needed after the initial download.
