> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

A 9B agentic model from Xiaomi MiMo, fine-tuned from Qwen3.5-9B for coding, agent tasks, visual coding and cybersecurity, released as a starting point for research.

MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

Made by XiaomiMiMo

## About

### What it is

MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B comes from Xiaomi MiMo and is built for agent work, at about 9B parameters. It starts from Qwen3.5-9B and adds supervised fine-tuning on data generated by MiMo. The covered areas are coding, general agent tasks, visual coding and cybersecurity.

Researchers can use the released checkpoint as a base for their own agent reinforcement learning work. It reads images and text and answers in text.

### Who it suits

It suits researchers and developers who want a mid-size open model for agent and coding work, or a base for their own reinforcement learning experiments. You need hardware that can hold about 18.8 GB of BF16 weights.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Software | Developers | Test a local model on coding and terminal tasks | Fixing an issue in a code repository |
| Research | Reinforcement learning researchers | Start from the released checkpoint for agent training | Running their own training on top of it |
| Office automation | Tool builders | Try a model on general agent tasks | Driving a task through tool calls |
| Security | Defensive teams | Study a model trained with cybersecurity data | Reading and explaining a code issue |

Skip it if you only want a hosted chat assistant and do not run models.

### Where to use it

- SGLang, a model server, in a recent build with Qwen3.5 support
- Any client that talks to an OpenAI-style endpoint
- Windows, macOS or Linux, with Python for the file download

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Coding and terminal tasks | Developers | Model answers and actions for repository work |
| Visual coding | Front-end developers | Code written from a visual description |
| Agent research | Researchers | A starting checkpoint for reinforcement learning work |

### How to set it up

You need a few things in place first.

- Python and pip
- A recent SGLang build that supports Qwen3.5
- Memory for the weights, about 18.8 GB in BF16

1. Install a recent SGLang build with Qwen3.5 support.
2. Start the server with the serve command, which names the model to load. The checkpoint brings its tokenizer and the MiMo v2.6 chat template.
3. Send requests to the server from an OpenAI-style client, with thinking turned on.

```bash
sglang serve \
  --model-path XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B \
  --reasoning-parser mimo \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 30000
```

To only get the repository files onto your computer, use Hugging Face's own steps.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B
```

### How to use it

Once the server is up on port 30000, you send chat requests to it. The card's client call sets enable\_thinking to true, so the reply carries a thinking part and an answer part. The reasoning parser option separates the two.

### Example

You ask the running server "What is 15% of 240?" with thinking enabled and a limit of 2048 tokens. The reply comes back in two parts, the model's reasoning first and then its final answer.

### For newcomers and experts

Start by running the serve command and sending one short question. That tells you whether your setup works before you try coding tasks. Keep the first request small.

The card reports gains over Qwen3.5-9B on most of its benchmarks. On SWE Pro the score goes from 32.0 to 44.6, on Terminal Bench 2.1 from 27.0 to 37.1, and on AutomationBench from 5.0 to 30.3. Some benchmarks are internal sets. The fine-tuning mix holds 77.4B tokens, of which 27.2B carry loss.

Benchmark scores from the card, base model against this model

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| SWE Pro, Qwen3.5-9B | 32.0 points |
| SWE Pro, this model | 44.6 points |
| Terminal Bench 2.1, Qwen3.5-9B | 27.0 points |
| Terminal Bench 2.1, this model | 37.1 points |
| AutomationBench, Qwen3.5-9B | 5.0 points |
| AutomationBench, this model | 30.3 points |

Download the model or name it in the serve command → Start the SGLang server → Send a chat request with thinking on → Read the thinking and the answer

### Good to know

- License: MIT
- Cost to run: none named, but it needs hardware for about 18.8 GB of BF16 weights
- Data it reaches: it downloads model files from Hugging Face and serves requests on the machine you run it on
- Not for: unlawful or malicious use, military use, malicious cyber activity such as malware or phishing, or high-risk actions run without human oversight
