Overview
MiMo Desktop is Xiaomi's desktop client for the MiMo family. It left invite-only testing and went generally available on September 22, 2026, alongside the V2.6 release, with membership plans launching at the same time. The product sits closer to a desktop agent workspace than to a chat window moved into an app: it takes a task, breaks it into steps, calls models and tools, and delivers documents, pages, code and visual assets directly, with live preview and editing along the way.
The timeline is easy to trace. Invite-only testing opened on September 8 with the MiMo-X-Pro-Preview and MiMo-X-Flash-Preview models. A configuration document on September 16 confirmed platform support and custom model access. The V2.6 launch on September 22 then turned it into a general release, with the original invitation program ending a week later. It runs on Windows and macOS (ARM), signs in with a Xiaomi account, ships mimo-v2.6-flash, mimo-v2.6-pro and mimo-v2.6-pro-ultraspeed as built-in models, and also accepts your own API key through pay-as-you-go billing or a Token Plan.
Membership comes in four tiers at 59, 179, 599 and 1,199 yuan per month, carrying 1x, 6x, 25x and 60x usage quotas, with ten percent off annual billing. Image generation, music generation, video generation and editing, parallel jobs, and skills and plugins all unlock from the third tier up, and V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed is listed on the top tier. Bring your own key and the subscription becomes optional, which is the more practical route for developers who already carry API budget.
Where MiMo Code leans toward terminal coding, Desktop covers a wider slice of desktop work: office documents and web deliverables, long tasks left running, and image, music and video assets. For anyone who wants a local entry point that can hold an entire workflow, the shape fits.
Key Features
- Desktop agent workspace: Takes in multi-format material, works out the goal, splits it into tasks and calls tools, then delivers usable documents, pages, code and visual assets with live preview and editing.
- Three V2.6 models built in: Ships mimo-v2.6-flash, mimo-v2.6-pro and mimo-v2.6-pro-ultraspeed out of the box, covering the range from low-cost high-frequency work to real-time speed.
- Smart mode: Evaluates task type, complexity, delivery requirement and execution cost, then matches the execution path for the job in front of it.
- Four membership tiers: 59, 179, 599 and 1,199 yuan per month map to 1x, 6x, 25x and 60x usage quotas, with ten percent off annual billing.
- Your own API key works: Accepts pay-as-you-go API credentials or a Token Plan, so teams that already hold API budget can plug in without a subscription.
- Cross-platform and account sync: Runs on Windows and macOS (ARM); signing in with a Xiaomi account syncs settings and conversations across machines.

Summary
MiMo Desktop is the step where Xiaomi moved MiMo from an API into a desktop product: out of invite testing into a general release on September 22, 2026, with three V2.6 models built in, sign-in through a Xiaomi account, and support for your own API key. Membership runs in four tiers from 59 yuan, with quotas stepping from 1x to 60x, and image, music and video generation plus parallel jobs unlocking from the third tier. The emphasis is not on conversation but on taking a task, breaking it down, finishing it and handing back the result. Anyone already using the MiMo API and wanting a local entry point can try the free path before picking a tier.
