Full-Pipeline Inference Optimization for MiMo-V2.5 Series: Pushing Hybrid SWA Efficiency to the Limit

We present a full-pipeline inference optimization for the MiMo-V2.5 model family, which combines Hybrid Sliding Window Attention (Hybrid SWA), sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), and multimodal encoders. While Hybrid SWA can ideally reduce both attention compute and KVCache storage significantly compared to Full Attention, realizing these gains in production requires substantial engineering effort. We systematically optimize the KVCache system with layerwise prefetch, SWA-aware prefix cache trees, and specialized placement strategies, achieving strict $O(W)$ SWA storage and high cache hit rates. We further build GCache, a high-performance distributed cache infrastructure with RDMA-optimized networking, and develop a KVCache-affinity router to reduce computation while preserving load balancing. We also optimize for multimodal inputs, including GPU image preprocessing, parallel video decoding, and multimodal cache sharing. Together, these optimizations constitute the first large-scale LLM serving system in production that efficiently covers the Hybrid SWA + MoE + multimodal composite architecture.

MiMo-V2-Flash Technical Report

We present MiMo-V2-Flash, a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 309B total parameters and 15B active parameters, designed for fast, strong reasoning and agentic capabilities. MiMo-V2-Flash adopts a hybrid attention architecture that interleaves Sliding Window Attention (SWA) with global attention, with a 128-token sliding window under a 5:1 hybrid ratio. The model is pre-trained on 27 trillion tokens with Multi-Token Prediction (MTP), employing a native 32k context length and subsequently extended to 256k. To efficiently scale post-training compute, MiMo-V2-Flash introduces a novel Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD) paradigm. In this framework, domain-specialized teachers (e.g., trained via large-scale reinforcement learning) provide dense and token-level reward, enabling the student model to perfectly master teacher expertise. MiMo-V2-Flash rivals top-tier open-weight models such as DeepSeek-V3.2 and Kimi-K2, despite using only 1/2 and 1/3 of their total parameters, respectively. During inference, by repurposing MTP as a draft model for speculative decoding, MiMo-V2-Flash achieves up to 3.6 acceptance length and 2.6x decoding speedup with three MTP layers. We open-source both the model weights and the three-layer MTP weights to foster open research and community collaboration.

WarmServe: Enabling One-for-Many GPU Prewarming for Multi-LLM Serving

Deploying multiple models within shared GPU clusters is promising for improving resource efficiency in large language model (LLM) serving. Existing multi-LLM serving systems optimize GPU utilization at the cost of worse inference performance, especially time-to-first-token (TTFT). We identify the root cause of such compromise as their unawareness of future workload characteristics. In contrast, recent analysis on real-world traces has shown the high periodicity and long-term predictability of LLM serving workloads. We propose universal GPU workers to enable one-for-many GPU prewarming that loads models with knowledge of future workloads. Based on universal GPU workers, we design and build WarmServe, a multi-LLM serving system that (1) mitigates cluster-wide prewarming interference by adopting an evict-aware model placement strategy, (2) prepares universal GPU workers in advance by proactive prewarming, and (3) manages GPU memory with a zero-overhead memory switching mechanism. Evaluation under real-world datasets shows that WarmServe improves TTFT by up to 50.8$\times$ compared to the state-of-the-art autoscaling-based system, while being capable of serving up to 2.5$\times$ more requests compared to the GPU-sharing system.
