Xiaomi Details HySparse2 Sparse Attention for MiMo-V3

Xiaomi Details HySparse2 for MiMo-V3: Two-Level KV Sharing Cuts 1M-Token Prefill FLOPs About 5× vs Hybrid SWA

Why we picked it

Two-level KV sharing targets the long-context prefill bottleneck that agentic workloads hit, cutting compute without a full attention redesign. Engineers building long-context inference stacks can benchmark the approach against hybrid SWA baselines on similar MoE setups. The MiMo-V3 linkage also signals how Xiaomi positions its model stack against domestic rivals like DeepSeek and Qwen.

Xiaomi's LLM-Core team has published details on HySparse2, a hybrid sparse-attention architecture built around two-level KV sharing.

Body

The design targets MiMo-V3-class agentic models and was evaluated on an 80B-A3B MoE configuration.Xiaomi reports roughly 5× lower FLOPs for 1M-token prefill compared with Hybrid SWA.
