Too close to call
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (Grok Build 0.1 53/100, Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) 52/100, MiMo-V2-Pro 42/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Grok Build 0.1 on price and MiMo-V2-Pro for long inputs. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.

Which should you choose?
Which is better: Grok Build 0.1, Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) or MiMo-V2-Pro?
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (Grok Build 0.1 53/100, Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) 52/100, MiMo-V2-Pro 42/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Grok Build 0.1 on price and MiMo-V2-Pro for long inputs. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.
Which is cheaper, Grok Build 0.1, Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) or MiMo-V2-Pro?
Grok Build 0.1 is cheaper at $1.00 input / $2.00 output per million tokens (official xAI API price). MiMo-V2-Pro costs $1.00 input / $3.00 output per million tokens (median across 1 API provider); Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) costs $1.25 input / $2.50 output per million tokens (official xAI API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $1.25 per million tokens for Grok Build 0.1 versus $1.50 for MiMo-V2-Pro (1.2× as much) and $1.56 for Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) (1.3× as much).
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. Grok Build 0.1 has not been scored yet, Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) has not been scored yet and MiMo-V2-Pro has not been scored yet.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Grok Build 0.1, Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) and MiMo-V2-Pro yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. Test both on a sample of your own tasks. All three support tool calling for agent workflows.
Which has the bigger context window?
MiMo-V2-Pro has the largest context window at 1,048,576 tokens, against 1,000,000 for Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) and 256,000 for Grok Build 0.1. Maximum output per response: Grok Build 0.1 up to 256,000, Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) up to 30,000, MiMo-V2-Pro up to 131,072 tokens.
Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?
Grok Build 0.1 accepts text, images and PDFs; Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) accepts text, images and PDFs; MiMo-V2-Pro accepts text. Grok Build 0.1 handles the widest range of inputs.
Are any of these open source?
No. Grok Build 0.1, Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) and MiMo-V2-Pro are proprietary and only available through APIs and apps.
Which is newer?
Grok Build 0.1 is the newest, released Apr 16, 2026. MiMo-V2-Pro came out Mar 18, 2026; Grok 4.20 (Non-Reasoning) came out Mar 9, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: MiMo-V2-Pro Dec 2024.
How do you decide the winner?
Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Nov 2, 2026.
