Xiaomi slashing AI prices by 99% isn't a promotion. It's a message.
While Western labs are burning cash for dominance, China's already treating intelligence like a commodity. Cheap, fast, and everywhere.
Good for consumers. Bad for anyone who thought their AI startup had a moat.
๐ Better inference efficiency, lower costs, broader access.
MiMo-V2.5 Series API pricing is now permanently reduced โ by up to 99% compared to previous pricing.
โจ Unified pricing across all context lengths.
MiMo Token Plans have also been upgraded:
โข 5โ8ร more usable tokens at the same price
โข Simpler and more transparent billing rules
๐ As a thank-you to current users, all current Token Plan credits will be fully reset.
๐ง MiMo-V2.5-TTS remains free for a limited time.
โฐ Effective May 26 at 6:00 PM PDT.
These improvements are powered by continued inference optimization and serving efficiency upgrades across the MiMo stack.
๐ ๏ธ Weโll also publish a detailed technical blog on the inference optimizations later โ stay tuned.
Indonesia just banned Polymarket officially over gambling laws, unofficially because someone had the audacity to bet on Prabowoโs presidency.
Nothing terrifies a government more than a transparent prediction market. In Jakarta, speculation is fine as long as it's off the books, preferably on the national budget.
Japan 10-year bond yield just hit 2.79%.
Highest level since 1996.
BOJ is slowly waking up, inflation is back, and the free money era is officially over.
2026 version of capitalism:
Struggle: Ask for billions in subsidies + government equity.
Lose competition: Blame China or "national security".
The free market is apparently only free when you're winning.
Gold at $4,730.
Not because the world is peaceful.
But because trust in fiat currencies and governments keeps eroding.
The ultimate hedge is doing what it always does.
Yet WTI is near $97 and gas prices at the pump are still over $4.50/gallon.
Why does the government happily give billions in subsidies + equity to big companies like Intel, but won't subsidize energy prices for American citizens?
