Xiaomi has detailed the engineering optimizations behind its MiMo-V2.5 series of AI models, focusing on achieving efficiency for long-context reasoning and multimodal tasks. The models employ Hybrid Sliding Window Attention (Hybrid SWA) to drastically reduce KVCache storage and compute costs compared to traditional Full Attention. Further enhancements include sparse MoE activation for reduced per-token computation and multimodal encoders for cross-modal understanding. The company has systematically engineered the inference system to realize these architectural gains in production, addressing challenges in KVCache management, scheduling, and execution pipelines. AI
