Pick MiMo-V2.5-Pro if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Inkling only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 5 shared benchmark results across 3 evidence categories; 3 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.

Why this result

MiMo-V2.5-Pro is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 73 to 69. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

MiMo-V2.5-Pro is the reasoning model in the pair, while Inkling 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.
