Side-by-side comparison of pricing, 12 benchmarks, and generation speed.
| Metric | DeepSeek V4 Pro (Non-reasoning) | MiMo-V2.5-Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Input ($/M tokens) | $0.43 | $0.43 |
| Output ($/M tokens) | $0.87 | $0.87 |
Verdict. MiMo-V2.5-Pro takes the aggregate benchmark matchup 2–0 across 2 categories. Real workloads usually care about a handful of specific tasks — see the per-benchmark table above.
Pricing. Both models sit in the budget bracket for output-token pricing. At 1.0× the per-million-token cost, MiMo-V2.5-Pro is meaningfully cheaper if your traffic is output-heavy (long completions, document generation, agent loops). MiMo-V2.5-Pro makes more sense when output volume is low and absolute reasoning quality justifies the premium.
Strengths. DeepSeek V4 Pro (Non-reasoning) is strongest on Intelligence Index (31.9). MiMo-V2.5-Pro leads on Coding Index (60.2), Intelligence Index (42.9).
Speed. On throughput, DeepSeek V4 Pro (Non-reasoning) generates tokens at 60 tok/s versus 35 tok/s — about 41% faster. On time-to-first-token, DeepSeek V4 Pro (Non-reasoning) responds in 1530ms vs 4070ms, which matters most for chat-style UIs.
Provider. DeepSeek and Xiaomi sell to overlapping but distinct developer audiences: DeepSeek tends to ship frontier reasoning models with premium positioning, while Xiaomi often prices more aggressively. Your existing vendor relationships, billing, and SLA preferences may matter as much as the raw numbers above.
Workload cost. Workload scenarios (per million requests at 30M input + 15M output tokens): DeepSeek V4 Pro (Non-reasoning) costs $25.95 ($311/year); MiMo-V2.5-Pro costs $25.95 ($311/year). At a smaller 5M-input/2M-output scale (single-developer tool or prototype): DeepSeek V4 Pro (Non-reasoning) ≈ $3.89/run, MiMo-V2.5-Pro ≈ $3.89/run. At agent/realtime scale (200M input / 100M output per million requests): DeepSeek V4 Pro (Non-reasoning) ≈ $173/run, MiMo-V2.5-Pro ≈ $173/run.
Recommendation. Both models have legitimate use cases — the right answer depends on whether you are optimizing for benchmark ceiling, latency, or unit cost. Start with the cheaper / faster model, evaluate against your specific task, and only switch if the upgrade shows a meaningful lift.
