    Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro UltraSpeed claims 1,000+ tokens/s on a 1T model

    AIXiaomi MiMo and TileRT released MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, which the post says reaches output speeds above 1,000 tokens/s on a 1 trillion parameter MoE model. The post says this runs on a single standard 8-GPGPU node rather than wafer-scale or pure on-chip SRAM hardware. UltraSpeed access is application-based from Jun 8 to Jun 23 (PDT), and the UltraSpeed API costs 3x the standard price.

    Why it matters: The post specifies the hardware setup behind the claimed speed, which matters for judging whether the approach can be replicated on standard GPU nodes.

    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. The speedup relies on FP4 quantization of MoE Experts, DFlash speculative decoding with an average coding acceptance length of 6.30, and TileRT compute kernels.

    Why it matters: The post traces how FP4 quantization, DFlash speculative decoding, and TileRT kernels combine to reach 1000+ tokens/s on a single 8-GPU node, which is useful for teams weighing inference throughput.

    Xiaomi details how it turned MiMo-V2.5 Hybrid SWA savings into production inference gains

    AIXiaomi describes an end-to-end inference optimization for the MiMo-V2.5 series, centered on Hybrid SWA, which it says cuts KVCache storage to roughly 1/7 of Full Attention. The post covers a dual KVCache pool design, SWA-aware prefix cache matching, the GCache distributed cache, and scheduling changes, and reports cache hit rates averaging 93% in server-side observations. It also covers prefill and decode optimizations, multimodal encoder improvements, and open-source contributions to SGLang.

    Why it matters: The post explains how Hybrid SWA's theoretical KVCache savings were realized in production through dual pools, SWA-aware prefix caching, and tiered storage, giving concrete engineering patterns for long-context inference.
