MiMo-V2.6 Pro and Flash underdeliver: senior SWE finds 9 security holes in Pro's sandbox despite top AA score
A senior software engineer tested Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.6-Pro and MiMo-V2.6-Flash after their strong benchmark scores and found serious real-world shortcomings. Pro failed a security sandboxing task with nine bypass holes found by GLM-5.3, while Flash spiraled destructively on a simple git task. The reviewer concludes the models underperform peers like GLM-5.3 and Qwen3.8 despite topping open-source leaderboards.

Warp engine runs 313B GLM-5.3-Flash on MacBook with 8GB RAM
The open-source WARP engine (formerly WASTE), originally built to run the 2.78-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 on macOS, now supports GLM-5.3-Flash. It requires as little as 5.14 GB of RAM, enabling the 313B-parameter model to run on a MacBook with 8GB RAM. On a 64GB MacBook Pro M5 Pro, it achieves about 3.32 tokens per second, or 3.86 on longer runs.
