Xiaomi opens early access to MiMo-X-Pro and MiMo-X-Flash preview models
Xiaomi has opened early access to two next-generation MiMo models, MiMo-X-Pro-Preview and MiMo-X-Flash-Preview, according to an email sent to approved users of the company's MiMo Desktop application. The email, titled "Xiaomi MiMo Desktop Early Access Is Now Open | Limited-Time Preview of MiMo-X-Pro/Flash-Preview," was shared on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit, where users are watching for a likely open-weights release of the new series.
The announcement describes the MiMo-X series as optimized for real professional workflows, with a stated focus on complex reasoning, multi-agent collaboration, large-scale coding projects, Office work, web design, frontend and interaction design, video editing, 3D generation, music generation, and computer control. The email stresses that the series is still in preview and that capabilities may change across versions.
The email does not specify model sizes, parameter counts, or benchmark results, and the poster said they would not share the rest of the email because it does not apply to the local-model community that r/LocalLLaMA serves. The poster's note that the announcement is "likely" to precede an open-weights release reflects community expectation rather than anything stated in the email itself.
The development follows Xiaomi's pattern of shipping MiMo models through its desktop app while the open-source community tracks releases for local deployment. The r/LocalLLaMA thread is gathering further information about the two preview models, which are being offered to approved users for a limited time as part of the early-access program.
Xiaomi has not publicly confirmed the models beyond the email, and no independent benchmarks, technical specifications, or release dates for open weights have been published. The capabilities listed in the email are broad and unverified, and it remains unclear how the Pro and Flash variants differ in scale or intended use, or when the preview period ends.
What is still unknown includes the underlying architecture, training data, licensing terms for any eventual open-weights release, and whether the computer-control and generation features described will be available locally or only through Xiaomi's hosted service. Users on the thread are awaiting further details from Xiaomi or from the models' appearance in public channels.
Xiaomi's MiMo-X preview signals a push into agentic, multimodal professional workflows, and the community expects an open-weights release that would extend the local-model ecosystem.
