In plain words
MiMo V2.5 Pro is a chat model from Xiaomi, the phone and gadget company. The “Pro” marks it as the step-up version of MiMo V2.5.
It thinks before it answers, so it’s good at breaking a project into steps and keeping track of what you’ve said. In chatmodel it works with text only: it doesn’t look at photos, read PDF files or search the web.
How to get the most out of it
- Paste the real text. The email thread, the notes, the draft. It can’t open files, so put the words in your message.
- Say what the finished thing looks like. “A one-page plan”, “a checklist by week”, “a 300-word article”.
- Work in rounds. Get the plan first, then ask for the details of each step.
- Tell it your limits. Time, budget and skills make the plan realistic.
How it compares with its siblings
Its sibling is MiMo V2.5, the lighter version. MiMo V2.5 can understand photos, which the Pro can’t in chatmodel. Pick the Pro for longer text jobs, and MiMo V2.5 when you want to send a picture.
