MoneyPrinterTurbo, the open-source tool for generating automated short videos with voiceovers, just dropped version 1.2.9. This release isn’t just a routine bug fix round — it brings real new capabilities. The headline additions: support for Xiaomi’s MiMo large language model and text-to-speech engine, plus a suite of advanced script controls in the WebUI.
The WebUI now lets you fine-tune scripts like never before. You can set a specific paragraph count for your generated script, add custom requirements (say, “focus on benefits” or “use a casual tone”), and for power users, there’s an optional full custom system prompt field. That last one essentially gives you the keys to the underlying model’s instruction set. If you know what you’re doing, you can drastically alter output style and content.
On the provider front, Xiaomi MiMo joins the party. Both LLM and TTS capabilities are now available as selectable backends. That means more voice options and potentially cheaper or faster inference, depending on your region and use case. For Docker users, the Ollama default base URL handling got smarter — no more manual configuration headaches in containerized setups.
This update is a direct response to one of the biggest pain points in automated video creation: script quality. Generic scripts sound robotic. The new paragraph count and custom requirements let you control pacing and emphasis. The full custom prompt? It’s a game changer for advanced users who want to inject brand guidelines or specific narrative structures. Meanwhile, Xiaomi MiMo integration broadens the toolbox at a time when many AI services are hiking prices or restricting usage. I’ve seen teams struggling with TTS latency; MiMo might offer a faster alternative.
Bug fixes also deserve a nod. The custom BGM path fix means your background music won’t mysteriously break between WebUI and API calls. And the Windows WebUI launcher is now more robust, which should cut down on support tickets. Nothing glamorous, but stability builds trust.
Final thought: MoneyPrinterTurbo is clearly betting on customization over one-size-fits-all. That’s smart. As AI tools commoditize, the edge lies in how you steer them. Version 1.2.9 gives content creators more steering wheels — with MiMo as a new engine option.
