On June 8, 2026, Xiaomi MiMo and inference startup TileRT published a result that shouldn’t be possible with commodity hardware: a 1-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model generating over 1000 tokens per second on a single 8-GPU node. The system is called MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, the underlying weights are open on HuggingFace, and an API trial is open until June 23, 2026.

What MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed actually is

MiMo-V2.5-Pro is Xiaomi’s open-source 1.02-trillion-parameter MoE reasoning model (1M-token context, native multimodality, released under permissive license). UltraSpeed is not a smaller model — it is the same weights run through a co-designed inference stack developed by TileRT that layers three independent speedups:

Speedup Technique Reported gain
Expert matrix throughput FP4 (MXFP4) quantization with QAT Cuts memory bandwidth per expert
Decode throughput DFlash speculative decoding ~6× acceptance length on coding tasks
Runtime overhead TileRT persistent GPU kernels Removes per-operator launch latency

The combined result: ~10× faster token generation than standard MiMo-V2.5-Pro at a cost of ~3× price premium per API call. Net economics flip positive the moment your workload is latency-bound rather than compute-bound.

Three-layer technical breakdown

Layer 1: FP4 expert quantization (MXFP4)

MoE models spend most of their inference time in expert matmuls, which are bandwidth-bound: the compute is fast but the GPU spends more time waiting for weights to stream from HBM than it does multiplying.

UltraSpeed quantizes expert matrices to FP4 using quantization-aware training (QAT) — the model saw FP4-rounded weights during post-training, so accuracy loss at the matrix level is absorbed by the optimizer rather than appearing at inference time as degraded reasoning. Critically, attention layers and MoE routers stay at higher precision; those paths are compute-bound and accuracy-sensitive, so FP4 would hurt them without helping.

Builder implication: FP4 alone does not change correctness on coding and reasoning tasks. Xiaomi reports no measurable regression on SWE-bench or AIME versus the standard-precision checkpoint. The weights are on HuggingFace at XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-Pro-FP4-DFlash if you want to run self-hosted.

Layer 2: DFlash speculative decoding

Standard speculative decoding uses a small draft model to propose several tokens at once, then checks them with the large model in a single forward pass — replacing serial single-token decode with batched verification. The catch: the draft model is a separate checkpoint that must be kept in sync with the target.

DFlash replaces serial draft-token generation with block-level masked parallel drafting — the draft step itself runs in parallel within a block rather than sequentially. This increases the draft-acceptance rate by giving the verifier more context per round.

Reported acceptance lengths (block size 8):

Task type Accepted tokens per verify round
Code generation ~6.3
Math / reasoning ~5.6
Agent tool calls ~4.3

The higher code acceptance makes UltraSpeed especially well-suited for agent coding loops where most output tokens are structured (function signatures, JSON tool calls, diff blocks) and thus highly predictable by the draft step.

Layer 3: TileRT runtime

The FP4 and DFlash improvements are compute-side. TileRT’s contribution is eliminating runtime overhead: the per-operator kernel-launch latency that accumulates across the hundreds of ops in a single forward pass.

TileRT achieves this with persistent GPU kernels — kernels that stay resident in GPU registers across multiple inference calls rather than being launched and torn down each time. On a 1T MoE with short decode batches, this launch tax is large relative to useful work. Removing it amplifies both the FP4 and DFlash gains.

MiMo-V2.5-Pro base benchmarks

UltraSpeed preserves the base model’s benchmark numbers. Key scores for MiMo-V2.5-Pro:

Benchmark MiMo-V2.5-Pro Context
SWE-bench Pro 57.2% GPT-5.4: 57.7%; Claude Opus 4.6: 53.4%
AIME 2025 41% Competition-level math
GPQA 54% PhD experts score 65–74%
MATH 75% —
AI Index v4.0 54 (#8 / 144) Artificial Analysis ranking
Context window 1M tokens —

SWE-bench 57.2% puts MiMo-V2.5-Pro squarely in the top tier of open-weight coding models — ahead of Claude Opus 4.6 on that specific benchmark, and within 0.5 points of GPT-5.4.

Speed and cost

Approximate rates (based on reported 3× premium over standard MiMo-V2.5-Pro API pricing):

Variant Speed Relative cost
MiMo-V2.5-Pro (standard) ~100 tps 1×
MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed ~1000–1200 tps ~3×

Comparison reference: Decrypt reported UltraSpeed running ~15× faster than standard ChatGPT and Claude API decode speeds under comparable load.

The routing decision: when does 3× cost justify 10× speed?

Speed rarely changes operator routing decisions on its own. What changes decisions is when speed alters the economics of an entire workload class.

Use UltraSpeed when:

  • User is waiting in real-time — a 1000-tps model returns a 500-token code block in half a second; the same block at 100 tps takes five seconds. For agentic coding assistants where developers are watching the output, the difference is the product experience.
  • Agent cascade has many serial LLM calls — if your pipeline runs 10 sequential LLM calls, 10× faster per call compresses end-to-end latency by the same factor. At that point, 3× per-call cost might be offset by needing fewer orchestration nodes.
  • High-throughput batch with time-value — CI/CD code review pipelines where a 10× faster run means engineers aren’t blocked waiting for results; security scanning where faster throughput means smaller vulnerability windows.
  • Code-generation-heavy workloads — DFlash’s 6.3 acceptance length on code means the speedup is larger here than on generic chat or reasoning.

Stick with standard when:

  • Workload is entirely asynchronous (results written to a queue; nobody is waiting).
  • Cost per run is already at budget ceiling and speed does not unlock additional throughput value.
  • You’re running inference on your own hardware where TileRT hasn’t yet been integrated.

Access

API trial (June 9–23, 2026 — ends in nine days):

  • Access via Xiaomi MiMo’s developer portal
  • Priced at 3× the standard MiMo-V2.5-Pro rate
  • Single 8-GPU node; throughput scales per-request not per-session

Self-hosted:

  • Weights: XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-Pro-FP4-DFlash on HuggingFace
  • Requires TileRT runtime; TileRT is separately available for enterprise deployment
  • Hardware floor: 8× H100 or H200 (or commodity equivalent with HBM3)

Standard MiMo-V2.5-Pro (for comparison / async workloads):

  • Available on OpenRouter at xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro
  • Hugging Face standard checkpoint: XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.5-Pro

What to watch

  • Post-trial pricing: Xiaomi has not announced post-June 23 pricing for UltraSpeed. The trial exists to gather latency and throughput data at scale. Expect pricing announcement around June 20–22.
  • TileRT + vLLM integration: TileRT is currently a standalone runtime. If it ships a vLLM backend adapter, UltraSpeed becomes deployable in most existing self-hosted inference stacks without a runtime migration.
  • DFlash acceptance on agent tasks (4.3) is lower than on coding (6.3) — the gap suggests agent tool-call JSON is less predictable than function bodies. If your workload is primarily tool-call routing rather than code generation, benchmark UltraSpeed against standard before committing.
