Side-by-side comparison of Grok-2 (xAI · USA) and MiMo-V2.5-Pro (Xiaomi (MiMo)) for self-hosted deployment of the open-weight model. Grok-2 is rated conditional; MiMo-V2.5-Pro is conditional. They part ways on licence: Grok-2 is "Grok 2 Community", MiMo-V2.5-Pro is "MIT".

| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional xAI's first open-weights release. Commercial use allowed under the Grok 2 Community License with xAI's Acceptable Use Policy. Notable restriction: weights cannot be used to train other models (distillation ban). 500GB model, needs 8 GPUs with 40GB+. | Conditional Per the published LICENSE file, MiMo-V2.5-Pro ships under MIT, so the weights themselves carry no commercial restriction. The remaining EU-readiness gaps are the China-based vendor and the corpus disclosure that names training-stage categories (text pre-training, multimodal pre-training, SFT, RL, MOPD) without listing datasets — both should be addressed in any GPAI deployer file before regulated use. |
