Side-by-side comparison of Kimi-K2.6 (Moonshot AI · China) and MiMo-V2.5 (Xiaomi (MiMo)) for self-hosted deployment of the open-weight model. Kimi-K2.6 is rated conditional; MiMo-V2.5 is conditional. They part ways on licence: Kimi-K2.6 is "Modified MIT", MiMo-V2.5 is "MIT".

| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional Per the published LICENSE file, Kimi-K2.6 ships under a Modified MIT licence: identical to standard MIT for almost all deployers, with an additional UI-attribution requirement only for products exceeding 100M monthly active users or USD 20M monthly revenue. The genuine EU-readiness concerns are the China-based vendor and the absence of any training-data disclosure rather than the licence itself. | 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. |
