Gemma 3 12B vs MiMo-V2-Flash

Gemma 3 12B

Google DeepMind

Gemma 3 12B is a 12-billion-parameter open-weight model from Google DeepMind, released in March 2025 as part of the Gemma 3 series designed to bring multimodal reasoning to accessible hardware. The model supports both text and image inputs across a 128K token context window, extending the vision capabilities that defined the Gemma 3 generation compared to earlier text-only Gemma releases. It became widely adopted for domain-specific fine-tuning in research and enterprise settings where full multimodal capability was needed without the infrastructure demands of larger frontier models.

Xiaomi

MiMo-V2-Flash, released by Xiaomi on December 16, 2025, is a Mixture-of-Experts large language model with 309 billion total parameters and 15 billion active parameters per inference, designed for high-speed reasoning and agentic workflows. It features a 256K token context window, processes up to 150 tokens per second, and was trained on 27 trillion tokens. MiMo-V2-Flash targets open-source deployments requiring fast, capable coding and reasoning with an efficient inference footprint, under an MIT license.
