MiMo-V2.6 Pro 1.02T-A42B on Quad RTX 5090 workstation (4x 32 GB)

1. Multi-GPU: 1792 GB/s per card, with each additional card contributing 40% of its bandwidth — 3942 GB/s effective, not the 7168 GB/s aggregate. Cross-GPU collectives use PCIe rather than a dedicated GPU fabric.
2. Decode: reading 42.0B active parameters at 4.85 bits/weight takes 8.16 ms at 3942 GB/s x 79% achieved efficiency.
3. MoE routing penalty of 15% applied: expert gathers are less bandwidth-efficient than a dense sweep.
4. Prefill: 838 TFLOPS (FP16) x 2 for native FP8 tensor cores x 0.71 calibrated against measured prefill on this platform x 26% assumed model-FLOPs utilisation, divided by 2 x 207.0B parameters per token.
5. Prefill uses 207.0B effective parameters, not the 42B active in decode: a batch of hundreds of tokens routes across most of the expert pool.

• MoE decode depends on how well the engine batches expert gathers; real results vary more than for dense models.
• Prefill throughput is highly engine-dependent. Flash attention, batch size and quantized KV all move this number substantially, and for sparse mixture-of-experts models it is the least reliable figure we produce.
• This is a calculated estimate, not a measurement. It assumes a single request, a short prompt, no speculative decoding and a warm model already resident in memory.
