🔥🔥🔥MiMo-VL 2508 Updates#

We're excited to announce improvements to our MiMo-VL (MiMo-VL-7B-RL-2508 and MiMo-VL-7B-SFT-2508), featuring enhanced performance across multiple benchmarks, improved thinking control capabilities, and better user experience.

📈 Performance Improvements#

MiMo-VL-7B-RL-2508 demonstrates consistent improvements across both image and video benchmarks, achieving notable milestones of 70.6 on MMMU and 70.8 on VideoMME.

Image: Benchmark Improvements

Full evaluation results can be found below.

🤔 Thinking Control Feature#

A thinking control capability that allows users to turn off the model's reasoning mode using the no_think parameter:

  • Thinking mode (default behavior): Full reasoning process visible with 100% control success rate;
  • Non-thinking mode: Direct responses without reasoning, with a 99.84% control success rate
❤️ Enhanced User Experience#

Our internal VLM Arena ratings show meaningful improvement in real-world performance:

  • Current model (MiMo-VL-7B-RL-2508): 1131.2 rating
  • Previous version (MiMo-VL-7B-RL): 1093.9 rating

These updates deliver a more capable, flexible, and reliable vision-language model for both academic evaluation and practical applications.

😉 Case Study: What are the appealing features of this car?#

Image: Xiaomi SU7

MiMo-VL-7B-RL-2508's Answer:

<think>...</think>
To determine the appealing features of the Xiaomi SU7, we analyze visual elements and context from the video:
1. Aesthetic Design
- The car boasts a sleek, aerodynamic exterior with smooth, modern lines.
- Distinctive lighting (sharp headlights and a continuous, glowing taillight strip) enhances its futuristic and sporty look.
- Vibrant color and polished finish make it visually striking.
2. Performance & Speed
- Multiple dynamic shots of the car driving at high speeds on diverse roads (desert, forest, city) emphasize agility and power.
- Close - ups of spinning wheels and the engine (with lightning-like effects) suggest advanced engineering and high-performance capabilities (likely electric or tech-driven).
3. Versatility
- The car is shown in varied environments (desert at dusk, forested roads, urban streets), highlighting its adaptability to different terrains and use cases.
4. Technological Innovation
- The engine close-up with electric-like lightning effects implies cutting-edge technology, positioning the car as a tech-forward vehicle (aligning with Xiaomi’s tech brand identity).
5. Brand Appeal
Prominent “Xiaomi SU7” branding leverages Xiaomi’s reputation in consumer tech, adding credibility and allure for tech-savvy audiences.


In summary, the Xiaomi SU7 appeals through its striking design, high-performance capabilities, versatility, technological innovation, and strong brand association.

Model Recommendation#

Both versions of the MiMo-VL-7B-2508 model are now open-sourced on Hugging Face:

Deployment Parameters#
  • temperature=0.3, topp=0.95
  • The system prompt is already set in chat_template.json and does not require additional configuration.
Thinking Control#

Users can control the thinking mode by appending /no_think to queries:

  • Thinking mode query (default): "What is the answer to the question in the image?"
  • Non-thinking mode query: "Identify the text in the image. /no_think"

❗️Important: The /no_think command must be the very last part of user message, which means after /no_think, there shouldn't be any user content like image or video.

Placing Visual Input#

For prompts with a single image or video, always place the visual media before the text. For example:

✅ Good:

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "image": image_path},
            {"type": "text",  "text": "Describe the image. /no_think"},
        ],
    }
]

❌ Bad:

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text",  "text": "Describe the image. /no_think"},
            {"type": "image", "image": image_path},
        ],
    }
]

I. Introduction#

In this report, we share our efforts to build a compact yet powerful VLM, MiMo-VL-7B. MiMo-VL-7B comprises (1) a native resolution ViT encoder that preserves fine-grained visual details, (2) an MLP projector for efficient cross-modal alignment, and (3) our MiMo-7B language model, specifically optimized for complex reasoning tasks.

The development of MiMo-VL-7B involves two sequential training processes: (1) A four-stage pre-training phase, which includes projector warmup, vision-language alignment, general multi-modal pre-training, and long-context Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). This phase yields the MiMo-VL-7B-SFT model. (2) A subsequent post-training phase, where we introduce Mixed On-policy Reinforcement Learning (MORL), a novel framework that seamlessly integrates diverse reward signals spanning perception accuracy, visual grounding precision, logical reasoning capabilities, and human/AI preferences. This phase yields the MiMo-VL-7B-RL model.

Image: image

We open-source MiMo-VL-7B series, including checkpoints of the SFT and RL model. We believe this report along with the models will provide valuable insights to develop powerful reasoning VLMs that benefit the larger community.

🛤️ During this journey, we find#
  • Incorporating high-quality, broad-coverage reasoning data from the pre-training stage is crucial for enhancing model performance
    • We curate high-quality reasoning data by identifying diverse queries, employing large reasoning models to regenerate responses with long CoT, and applying rejection sampling to ensure quality.
    • Rather than treating this as supplementary fine-tuning data, we incorporate substantial volumes of this synthetic reasoning data directly into the later pre-training stages, where extended training yields continued performance improvements without saturation.
  • Mixed On-policy Reinforcement Learning further enhances model performance, while achieving stable simultaneous improvements remains challenging
    • We apply RL across diverse capabilities, including reasoning, perception, grounding, and human preference alignment, spanning modalities including text, images, and videos. While this hybrid training approach further unlock model’s potential, interference across data domains remains a challenge.
