Mimo & Free Models

The channel's coverage of the high-volume auxiliary slot — the free-tier providers that power Hermes Agent's cheapest workflows, the Xiaomi Mimo V2 Pro model that became the "high-volume king" on OpenRouter, and the broader question of when a "cheap and good enough" model beats a flagship. This course pulls together the channel's framing of the auxiliary role, the BYOK free-tier pattern, and the Mimo V2 Pro free promotional period — the slot in the model hierarchy that you actually want to fill *first* before paying for anything else.
