GPT-5.2-Codex vs MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed

Published LiveBench scores across all seven categories, live list pricing, context windows, and the measured cost of a point of capability — for both models, side by side.

OpenRouter + LiveBenchAll comparisonsFull leaderboard

GPT-5.2-Codex is the cheaper of the two; neither can be ranked on quality here.

MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed does not have a published LiveBench run, so this comparison covers price, context and declared capabilities only. A missing score means "not evaluated", not "worse" — the right way to separate these two is an eval on your own workload.

What each one costs to run

Per-token prices are hard to feel. These are monthly list costs for both models across five workload shapes, using each provider's published cached-input rate where there is one.

GPT-5.2-Codex vs MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed FAQ

Which is better, GPT-5.2-Codex or MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed?

GPT-5.2-Codex is the cheaper of the two; neither can be ranked on quality here. MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed does not have a published LiveBench run, so this comparison covers price, context and declared capabilities only. A missing score means "not evaluated", not "worse" — the right way to separate these two is an eval on your own workload.

Is GPT-5.2-Codex cheaper than MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed?

GPT-5.2-Codex is cheaper. On a 3:1 input:output blend, GPT-5.2-Codex lists at $4.81 per million tokens and MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed at $5.44 — GPT-5.2-Codex is 13% cheaper. Input and output are priced separately — GPT-5.2-Codex charges $1.75 in and $14.00 out, MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed charges $4.35 and $8.70 — so the model that looks cheaper flips depending on how output-heavy your workload is.

Does GPT-5.2-Codex or MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed have a bigger context window?

MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed has the larger context window: 400K for GPT-5.2-Codex against 1.0M for MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed. Note that a window you can fill is not a window you should fill — retrieval quality usually degrades well before the limit, and you pay for every token you put in it.

Do GPT-5.2-Codex and MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed support prompt caching?

Both publish a cached-input rate: $0.175 per million for GPT-5.2-Codex and $0.036 for MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed, against full input rates of $1.75 and $4.35. On a workload with a long stable prefix — a system prompt, a tool schema, a retrieved corpus — that changes the economics more than the headline price does.

How these numbers are produced

  • Price — provider list price from OpenRouter, refreshed every 15 minutes. “Blended” is a 3:1 input:output mix.
  • ScoresLiveBench release 2026-06-25, using their own category map. Each model shows its strongest published run. A blank means “not evaluated”, never “bad”.
  • Cost per point — the measured dollars LiveBench spent on the run, divided by the score it earned.
  • “Win” — awarded only past a threshold: one full point on a benchmark score, 10% on a price, 25% on a context window. Anything tighter reports as a tie, because effort settings alone move a LiveBench score by more than that.
