# Xiaomi MiMo API

MiMo API exposes named hosted models using OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible interfaces, with per-token usage and a separate token-plan route.

Canonical profile: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/xiaomi-mimo/

Scope: Xiaomi MiMo hosted API for selectable model endpoints; MiMo web chat is excluded.

Published overall: 3.4; 5/6 dimensions rated.

Round the equal-weight mean of available numerical ratings to one decimal; require at least four of six for an overall score. BDS status stays outside the mean; for eligible profiles, a boycott target caps the final score at 2/10 and a pressure target subtracts one point (minimum 1). Not listed and not checked do not adjust the score.

## Energy practices

Finding: 1/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/xiaomi-mimo/#energy

This grades published energy practices, not the service’s actual footprint.

Reason: 1 + 0 reporting + 0 electricity + 0 controls = 1/10. This grades documented practices and transparency.

Argument: The reviewed materials define the Xiaomi MiMo hosted model API and its functions but provide no service-specific reporting on electricity, emissions, water, sourcing, or resource-reduction controls. Missing measurements do not establish high consumption.

Type: argument; confidence: low

Scope (dimension): Xiaomi MiMo hosted API for selectable model endpoints; MiMo web chat is excluded.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: No comparable service-level electricity, emissions, water, location mix, or independently reviewed footprint is established in these sources.

## Training data

Finding: Depends on the model

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/xiaomi-mimo/#training-rights

The hosted route does not identify one fixed model and corpus.

Reason: Training-data rights depend on the exact model and version selected through this hosted route; no single corpus assessment applies.

Argument: This Xiaomi MiMo hosted model API can expose multiple models or change its model selection over time. The product page is not a source-specific training-data and permissions record for every model served through the route.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (profile): Xiaomi MiMo hosted API for selectable model endpoints; MiMo web chat is excluded.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: Select the exact model and version, then review its training sources, permissions, creator controls, and any API-specific data terms.

## Your data & privacy

Finding: 6/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/xiaomi-mimo/#privacy

The MiMo policy names API inputs, states prompts are not used for training without prior consent, and describes storage, sharing, and account controls.

Reason: Specific no-training-without-consent language and deletion/storage provisions support a stronger middle-band score, tempered by flexible retention, telemetry, and partner-sharing terms.

Argument: Xiaomi’s MiMo privacy policy says prompts and uploaded media are processed for the chosen model, and states the company will not use user-provided text for model training or other purposes without prior consent. It also describes identity and billing data, cookie analytics, partner sharing, mainland storage for mainland use, and retention until the stated purpose or legal requirement ends.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (profile): Xiaomi MiMo hosted API for selectable model endpoints; MiMo web chat is excluded.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: The policy gives no fixed prompt-retention duration or route-level human-review schedule; the policy notes separate terms may apply to use outside mainland China.

## Openness

Finding: 2/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/xiaomi-mimo/#openness

This is a hosted product route; its interface documentation does not disclose the hosted model implementation or grant access to its weights.

Reason: A hosted interface is documented, but source code, training artifacts, and route-specific downloadable weights are not established in these sources.

Argument: The reviewed Xiaomi MiMo hosted model API materials describe a hosted service, without publishing the service implementation or checkpoint weights for this route. Its openness rating concerns access to this product surface, not any separately released model family.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (profile): Xiaomi MiMo hosted API for selectable model endpoints; MiMo web chat is excluded.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: The exact model checkpoint and any route-specific release artifacts may change; this rating covers the named service route.

## Worker protections

Finding: 1/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/xiaomi-mimo/#labour

No model-specific worker safeguards are established for Xiaomi MiMo in the reviewed model sources.

Reason: 1 base + 0 conditions + 0 worker voice/remedy + 0 evidence/follow-through = 1/10; this is a disclosure finding, not proof of abuse.

Argument: The model release pages describe weights and technical properties, not conditions for employees, data annotators, evaluators, moderators, or infrastructure contractors. This is a source-bounded disclosure gap, not evidence of mistreatment. This entry carries the same developer/operator finding to Xiaomi MiMo API; it does not establish that this product was deployed under every cited relationship.

Type: argument; confidence: low

Scope (dimension): Xiaomi: the documented developer/operator record, not proof of deployment of Xiaomi MiMo API.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: Worker locations, pay and conditions, supplier coverage, voice mechanisms, labor audits, and remediation outcomes are not established by these model-release sources.

## Military ties

Finding: 7/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/xiaomi-mimo/#military-contracts

No route-specific military relationship or end-use oversight was established for this Xiaomi MiMo hosted API for selectable model endpoints; MiMo web chat is excluded..

Reason: 7 base + 0 safeguard adjustment = 7/10 (0 of 9 safeguard points; every 3 adds 1). No military relationship was established in the cited sources. This ranks above known defense ties without claiming a verified clean record.

Argument: The reviewed Xiaomi MiMo API materials describe user access, features, or account rules but do not establish a military customer, military deployment, or a model-specific restriction on military use. This route finding does not resolve the wider company’s government work.

Type: argument; confidence: low

Scope (profile): Xiaomi MiMo hosted API for selectable model endpoints; MiMo web chat is excluded.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: A separate, current company-level review is needed for defense contracts; downstream deployments and any customer-specific safeguards are not established here.

## BDS targets

Finding: Not listed

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/providers/xiaomi-mimo/#israel-palestine

Xiaomi MiMo is not named in the two official BNC campaign lists checked. This is a limited list check, not BDS approval.

Reason: Campaign category, excluded from numerical scoring.

Argument: The official BNC consumer boycott/pressure guide and No Tech campaign page do not name Xiaomi MiMo among their current targets. BDS uses selective campaigns, so absence from these lists is neutral and does not establish a clean record or approval. This entry carries the same developer/operator finding to Xiaomi MiMo API; it does not establish that this product was deployed under every cited relationship.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (dimension): Xiaomi: the documented developer/operator record, not proof of deployment of Xiaomi MiMo API.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: This check covers only named targets in the two cited BNC campaigns; it does not cover all BDS campaigns, local groups, investments, suppliers, or downstream hosts. Lists and ownership may change.

## Reading the evidence

- Assessments are provisional editorial judgments. Cite the profile and the underlying sources, and retain confidence, scope and unknowns.

- Unknown, not-applicable and model-dependent are different states. Missing evidence does not establish good or bad conduct.

- Company-level evidence does not establish use of a particular product or model. Account plan, model, host and route can change an assessment.

- Energy scores describe documented practices and transparency, not measured request emissions. Zero component points can mean an evidence gap.

- Published overall scores require at least four of six numerical dimensions. Preserve coverage and BDS adjustments; BDS itself is categorical.

- No named BDS target found is limited to the reviewed campaign sources and is not approval. Personalized priorities do not change the published overall score.

- Review and source-check dates describe the research, not this deployment. Fetch current primary sources when the decision requires current verification.
