Xiaomi's MiMo coding plan costs more than GPT-6.1 Sol due to rework

A user found that Xiaomi's MiMo Token Plan Pro, intended as a cost-effective solution for AI coding tasks, proved more expensive and less effective than expected. The plan was depleted in 20 days, costing approximately $0.81 per accepted code change, compared to $0.71 for GPT-6.1 Sol. A significant factor was rework, with MiMo passing first-try reviews only 16% of the time, versus 71% for GPT-6.1 Sol, leading to higher review costs and time investment. AI
