Deep dive
The capability footprint differs most on reasoning mode: DeepSeek R1 0528, function calling: Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro, tool use: Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro, and code execution: DeepSeek R1 0528. Both models share structured outputs, so the practical split is not just feature count. Use those differences to decide whether the page is about raw model quality, agentic coding support, multimodal ingestion, or predictable structured API behavior.
For cost, DeepSeek R1 0528 lists $0.1/1M input and $0.3/1M output tokens, while Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro lists $1/1M input and $3/1M output tokens on the cheapest tracked provider. A 70/30 input-output blend puts DeepSeek R1 0528 lower by about $1.44 per million blended tokens. Availability is 5 providers versus 1, so concentration risk also matters.
Choose DeepSeek R1 0528 when coding workflow support, lower input-token cost, and broader provider choice are central to the workload. Choose Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro when coding workflow support and larger context windows are more important. For production, rerun your own prompts through the exact provider, region, and tool stack you plan to ship. This keeps the decision grounded in measurable tradeoffs instead of brand-level assumptions.
FAQ
Which has a larger context window, DeepSeek R1 0528 or Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro?
Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro supports 1M tokens, while DeepSeek R1 0528 supports 160K tokens. That gap matters most for long documents, large codebases, retrieval-heavy agents, and conversations where earlier context must remain visible.
Which is cheaper, DeepSeek R1 0528 or Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro?
DeepSeek R1 0528 is cheaper on tracked token pricing. DeepSeek R1 0528 costs $0.1/1M input and $0.3/1M output tokens. Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro costs $1/1M input and $3/1M output tokens. Provider discounts or batch pricing can still change the final bill.
Is DeepSeek R1 0528 or Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro open source?
DeepSeek R1 0528 is listed under Open Source. Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro is listed under Proprietary. License labels affect whether you can self-host, redistribute weights, or rely only on hosted APIs, so confirm the upstream license before deployment.
