| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional 132B MoE (36B active). Databricks Open Model License is bespoke — allows commercial use with acceptable-use policy and a 700M-MAU-style cap. Read the licence carefully; not Apache 2.0. | Conditional MiMo-V2.5 is the omnimodal sibling of MiMo-V2.5-Pro — text, vision, audio, and video on a single sparse-MoE backbone, also under MIT. Same posture as the Pro: deployable weights, but the China origin and stage-level training disclosure mean any EU rollout needs self-hosting plus a deployer-prepared GPAI compliance file, with extra attention to Article 50 transparency for synthetic and biometric outputs. |
