Side-by-side comparison of DeepSeek V3 (DeepSeek · China) and MiMo-V2.5 (Xiaomi (MiMo)) for self-hosted deployment of the open-weight model. DeepSeek V3 is rated conditional; MiMo-V2.5 is conditional. They part ways on commercial use: DeepSeek V3 is "Yes", MiMo-V2.5 is "Unrestricted".

| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional MIT licence is maximally permissive. Weights are legally clean to self-host. Same Chinese-origin considerations as Qwen. | 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. |
