8 Fun Probes, 3 Runs Each: mimo-v2.6-pro vs gpt-6-astra in English — and What Happened When We Repeated Them in Russian, Portuguese and Japanese

English-prompt battery of 8 playful probes (pelican-on-a-bicycle SVG, candy-box false belief, acrostic, self-counting sentence, four classic traps) on Xiaomi's mimo-v2.6-pro and gpt-6-astra, 3 runs each. In English the two are tied on every graded probe and mimo drew 3/3 pelicans. The same battery in Russian, Portuguese and Japanese broke mimo's pelican (0/3, 0/3, 1/3). Plus a routing disclosure: the gpt-6-astra path injects ~4,100 tokens per call.
