Why this result
MiMo-V2.5 is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 58.62 to 47.74. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
MiMo-V2.5's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 56.1 against 49.
MiMo-V2.5 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Claude 3.5 Sonnet is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. MiMo-V2.5 gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 200K for Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
