Why this result

Qwen3.5 397B has the cleaner BenchAlign overall profile here, landing at 57.01 versus 54.06. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

Qwen3.5 397B is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.60 input / $3.60 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 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Qwen3.5 397B 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-Flash gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 128K for Qwen3.5 397B.
