Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.
MiMo-V2-Flash is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 66 to 32. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
MiMo-V2-Flash's sharpest advantage is in multimodal & grounded, where it averages 75.8 against 32.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMMU-Pro, 78 to 27.
MiMo-V2-Flash is the reasoning model in the pair, while Ministral 3 8B 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.
Pick MiMo-V2-Flash if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Ministral 3 8B only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
