I went all in on AI coding tools and became incredibly productive. Then I lost my job and could not write a for loop.

13. Xiaomi releases MiMo-v2.5 Family weights with strong coding and agent benchmarks (firethering.com)

Peking University gives its computer science students a compiler project every semester. Build a complete SysY compiler in Rust including lexer, parser, abstract syntax tree, IR code generation, assembly backend, performance optimization. The whole thing. Students typically need several weeks. MiMo-V2.5-Pro finished it in 4.3 hours. Perfect score. 233 out of 233 tests passed on a hidden test suite it had never seen. That's a real university project and a model that scored higher than most students who spent weeks on it. Xiaomi built this, which is still a sentence that takes a moment to process. V2.5-Pro is the next step up from MiMo-V2-Flash and its closed source for now, but Xiaomi has confirmed open source is coming for the V2.5 series. What V2.5-Pro adds over Flash is meaningful. Better long-horizon coherence, stronger agentic capabilities, and the ability to sustain complex tasks across more than a thousand tool calls without losing the thread.
