Does OpenClaw support Xiaomi MiMo?

Yes, via BYOK. Either paste a Xiaomi API key directly or route through OpenRouter under xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro.

Which MiMo model works best for Telegram bots?

xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro balances cost + speed for chat-only bots. Use mimo-v2-pro if you have skills/tool calls enabled.

Does BYOK with MiMo apply to all my OpenClaw traffic?

Yes. Once you set a BYOK key, all that account’s traffic flips to it. Shared free-tier routing only applies to users without BYOK.

OpenClaw + Xiaomi MiMo: BYOK Setup Guide

Xiaomi MiMo is a trillion-parameter open-platform LLM tuned for agent workflows. This guide shows how to bring your own MiMo key (BYOK) into OpenClaw Launch so your Telegram / Discord / WeChat / Web bot replies through MiMo V2 Pro.

About Xiaomi MiMo

MiMo is Xiaomi's open LLM platform. Current line: xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro (flagship, agentic), xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro (balanced), xiaomi/mimo-v2.5 (speed), xiaomi/mimo-v2 (budget). The API is OpenAI-compatible — standard /v1/chat/completions shape with tool calls.

Why MiMo on OpenClaw?

Strong agentic baseline at lower per-token cost than GPT-5 or Claude 4.6
Good Chinese-language coverage for WeChat / Feishu / DingTalk / Xiaohongshu bots
Long-context tool calling that holds up over multi-turn conversations

Step 1: Get a MiMo API Key

Visit api.xiaomi.com
Register or sign in with a Xiaomi account
Open the API Keys page, create a new key
Pick a token plan (free tier has tight rate limits; paid is recommended for production)

Alternative: skip the direct MiMo signup and use OpenRouter — MiMo is listed there as xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro.

Step 2: Add the Key to OpenClaw Launch

Open the /api-keys page in your OpenClaw Launch dashboard
Paste your OpenRouter key in the OpenRouter slot (OpenClaw routes MiMo via OpenRouter under xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro)
Pick xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro as your primary model
Click Save — OpenClaw syncs the config to your container automatically

Step 3: Test From a Channel

Open the web gateway from Dashboard, or send a message to your bot on Telegram / Discord / WeChat. The reply now comes from MiMo V2 Pro. If you have skills installed, MiMo will pick them up and tool-call as needed.

Model Selection Cheatsheet

Use case	Pick
Agentic bot with skills + tool calls	`xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro`
General chat, balanced cost	`xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro`
Fast replies, short conversations	`xiaomi/mimo-v2.5`
Budget testing	`xiaomi/mimo-v2`

Self-Hosted OpenClaw + MiMo

If you self-host OpenClaw, the equivalent config:

# ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
{
  "agents": { "defaults": { "model": { "primary": "openrouter/xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro" } } },
  "models": { "providers": { "openrouter": { "apiKey": "sk-or-..." } } }
}

BYOK vs Shared Routing

On the free trial and Lite tier, OpenClaw Launch routes through a shared OpenRouter sub-key by default. Once you paste a BYOK key (Xiaomi or OpenRouter), all of that user's traffic flips to your key — this is intentional and irreversible per session. See OpenClaw BYOK for the full BYOK model.

Limits

MiMo's direct endpoint is hosted in China — latency from US/EU is higher than OpenRouter
Free-tier rate limits are tight; expect 429s on bursty traffic
Tool-call JSON validation is strict — malformed args get rejected outright
