| Summary | ||
| Verdict | 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. | EU-ready MIT-licensed 14B from Microsoft Research. Heavy use of synthetic training data is disclosed; English-primary (thin multilingual coverage). Strongest small-model option for permissive-licence EU deployments. |
