These parameters are learned during training and determine the model's ability to process and generate responses. ### Active Parameters at Inference Time The number of parameters actually executed during each inference forward pass, expressed in billions. For Mixture of Experts (MoE) models, a routing mechanism selects a subset of experts per token, resulting in fewer active than total parameters. Dense models use all parameters, so active equals total. ## Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about MiMo-V2.6-Pro ### When was MiMo-V2.6-Pro released?
