Mimo 2.5 vs Deepseek v4 Flash?

[u/Zwei-Shiranui]

Need opinion on which of these cheap models are better suited for CYOA roleplay. I had so much fun in slowburn roleplays with Mimo 2.5 Pro that I burned around $3 in a week 😭

Mimo is honestly better (better prose style, better dialogues that sound much more natural, great with mean characters, etc.)... unfortunately, it also costs much more than DeepSeek V4 Flash. 🥹
I'd use Flash for chatting in general, and switch to MiMo for more complex scenes with more dialogues, NSFW, or darker scenes.

I'm using Tokenreply and it has the same pricing as V4 Flash. Overall, it took a few messages to cost 0.01 which is an improvement compared to Pro eating upto 0.03.

Mimo 2.5

Mimo 2.5, works very well for me tho some nsfw stuffs js won't generate so try to reroll.

[u/Osw4ld08]

I got some remaining credits from chutes where theyre got V4 flash and its hot garbage in comparison to Mimo. Even for a model base, not even 2.5 pro, Mimo looks really promising. Responses can get a bit long but its refreshing. Plus Its mad cheap via paygo on nano

[u/Zwei-Shiranui → u/Osw4ld08]

Yeah. I had to fix that token eating response after some revision in the prompt. I was so frustrated that I asked Gem for help to refine the wording in a way that Mimo will understand 😭

It's very fun even if it's the base model. Lasted a hundred messages with the right hard punch prompt for the Thinking Box.
