OpenClaw + Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro: Use MiMo V2.5 Pro with OpenClaw
Xiaomi's MiMo V2.5 Pro sharpens the reasoning and coding of the MiMo line while keeping the lineup's signature low cost. Route it through OpenRouter and deploy an OpenClaw agent in about 30 seconds with your own OpenRouter key.
What Is Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro?
MiMo is Xiaomi's open model family, built for strong reasoning at a low price point. MiMo V2.5 Pro is the refresh of MiMo V2 Pro — a mid-cycle upgrade that improves math and code reasoning, tool-calling reliability, and instruction-following while staying cheap enough to run as a default agent model.
For an OpenClaw bot that searches the web, writes code, and chains tools across a conversation, V2.5 Pro's cleaner tool-calling means fewer dropped steps than the earlier V2 release — at a token price well below Claude or GPT.
MiMo V2.5 Pro vs MiMo V2 Pro
| Model | Strengths | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| MiMo V2.5 Pro | Improved reasoning, math, and tool-calling | Agentic loops, coding, day-to-day chat |
| MiMo V2 Pro | Solid general quality at very low cost | High-volume chat where cost is paramount |
If you already run MiMo V2 Pro, V2.5 Pro is a drop-in upgrade — same low cost, better behavior on multi-step tasks. New deployments should start on V2.5 Pro.
How to Deploy MiMo V2.5 Pro with OpenClaw Launch
MiMo routes through OpenRouter, so you run V2.5 Pro on OpenClaw Launch with your own OpenRouter key (BYOK). It still deploys in about 30 seconds:
- Go to openclawlaunch.com and open the configurator.
- Add your OpenRouter key in the BYOK settings, then select Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro as your model.
- Pick your chat platform (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, WeChat, or browser gateway).
- Click Deploy. Your MiMo V2.5 Pro agent is live in about 30 seconds.
/model chat command — no redeploy. Try MiMo V2.5 Pro against Qwen 3.7 and DeepSeek V4 on your own prompts to find the best fit.Self-Hosted Configuration
If you run OpenClaw on your own server, configure OpenRouter as a provider in your openclaw.json and point the default agent at MiMo V2.5 Pro:
{
"models": {
"providers": {
"openrouter": {
"apiKey": "sk-or-..."
}
}
},
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"model": {
"primary": "openrouter/xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro"
}
}
}
}Grab an OpenRouter key at openrouter.ai/keys.
BYOK with MiMo V2.5 Pro
If you already have an OpenRouter account, bring it to OpenClaw Launch via BYOK. In the configurator, select BYOK and paste your OpenRouter key — all requests route through your key and your own billing.
