| Summary | ||
| Verdict | EU-ready Major licence shift from Gemma 2/3: Apache 2.0 across the family. 140+ languages, multimodal (text/image/audio/video on small sizes), 128K-256K context. Strong permissive default for EU deployments that need robust multilingual support. | 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. |
