Why this result

MiMo-V2-Flash is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 53.21 to 46.59. 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 coding, where it averages 73.4 against 49.3. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 73.4% to 49.3%.

o3-mini is also the more expensive model on tokens at $1.10 input / $4.40 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for MiMo-V2-Flash. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. MiMo-V2-Flash gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 200K for o3-mini.
