As much as I absolutely love Mimo V2.5 Pro (it's a genuinely good model), I absolutely hate the way they calculate usage in their token plan.
For example: For a super small task in a small project that should not be consuming more than 500K total tokens after all tool calls included, their shown usage shot up to 152 million tokens.
But, when I scroll down on the same page, a table shows usage as 3 million tokens, out of which 2.5 million were cached.
This is such a huge conflict on the very same page. The bad thing is that the usage progress bar is shown against that 150 million token usage, not against that 3 million one.
This has been in discussions for at least past 3 months on reddit as well, and was precisely the reason I subscribed to their lowest tier, and for a single month only.
Update: their own harness, mimocode, shows total token usage as just 63.1K. We now have 3 entirely different values, differing in 3 orders of magnitude.
Update 2: So, I did the exact same task this time using DS4Pro, and total token usage was just 101K (as shown by opencode).
- microbass 4mo agoIt's very confusing. They have tokens for their API and credits for their "token plan".
- freakynit 4mo agoEven worse... they use both terms on the same page in dashboard. """ Credits 4,100,000,000 Credits Total Token Consumption """
- freakynit 4mo agoOoooo... I now realize the trick. It's a mental play... give 1000x of "credits" but charge in same old tokens.
- throwa356262 4mo agoI prefer this to Anthropics "in the next 5 hours you have X tokens to spend, and we are not going to tell you what X is" Here token price is model price + busy hours surcharge, and BTW nowhere near 1000x
- freakynit 4mo agoNo doubt this is better than Anthropics... and yes, I computed the ratio again: it's 38.92 (at least based on what's shown in my dashboard).
