MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B-MLX

MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B is a 9-billion-parameter agentic model from Xiaomi MiMo, built via supervised fine-tuning of Qwen3.5-9B on MiMo-generated data spanning coding, general-purpose agent tasks, visual coding, and cybersecurity, released as an SFT checkpoint intended as a starting point for open research in agentic reinforcement learning. It was trained on a weighted mixture of 77.4B total tokens (27.2B loss-bearing) split roughly evenly across code (29.9%), general (28.5%), visual (27.4%), and cyber (14.2%) domains, and shows dramatic gains over its Qwen3.5-9B base across nearly every reported benchmark — jumping from 5.0 to 30.3 on AutomationBench v1.0.6, 5.7 to 31.3 on internal cyber evaluation, 27.0 to 37.1 on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and 19.5 to 51.6 on internal coding evaluation, alongside solid improvements on SWE-bench Verified (61.1) and SWE-bench Pro (44.6). It ships with its tokenizer and MiMo v2.6 chat template, is served via SGLang with a dedicated mimo reasoning parser and explicit thinking-mode control through an OpenAI-compatible API, and is fine-tuned from the Apache-2.0-licensed Qwen3.5-9B base.

pip install -U mlx-vlm

Model Note: MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B is an agentic vision-language model trained for coding, cybersecurity, general multi-modal reasoning, and visual problem-solving. It accepts both text and image inputs.

BF16 Variant (Base Model)

The unquantized BF16 weights are located directly in the root of the repository:

CLI (Terminal)

python -m mlx_vlm generate \
  --model prithivMLmods/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B-MLX \
  --max-tokens 512 \
  --temperature 0.2 \
  --prompt "Analyze this image and explain the core workflow step by step." \
  --image <path_to_image>

Python API

from mlx_vlm import load, generate
from mlx_vlm.prompt_utils import apply_chat_template
from mlx_vlm.utils import load_config

model_path = "prithivMLmods/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B-MLX"
model, processor = load(model_path)
config = load_config(model_path)

image = ["<path_to_image>"]
prompt = "Analyze this image and explain the core workflow step by step."
formatted_prompt = apply_chat_template(processor, config, prompt, num_images=len(image))

output = generate(
    model, 
    processor, 
    formatted_prompt, 
    image=image, 
    max_tokens=512, 
    temperature=0.2
)
print(output.text)
