    Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed reaches 1000+ tokens/s on a 1T model

    AIXiaomi and TileRT released MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, reporting decode speeds above 1000 tokens/s on a 1-trillion-parameter model using a single standard 8-GPU node. The API is priced at 3x MiMo-V2.5-Pro and is available by application only from June 9 to June 23, 2026.

    MiniMax Explains Why Its Model Failed to Output Certain Rare Chinese Tokens

    AIMiniMax says the M2 series could not generate the rare token "嘉祺" in names like Ma Jiaqi, and its investigation traced the cause to post-training. The company found the token was learned in pretraining, but low coverage of rare tokens in post-training data caused lm_head vectors to drift. Adding synthetic full-vocabulary repetition data restored generation for these tokens and reduced Japanese-to-Russian mixing from 47% to 1%.

    Why it matters: The post traces a specific token failure through tokenizer, embedding, and lm_head checks, showing a reusable way to diagnose post-training generation problems.
