I hope your gf device code name is sweet. There are latest versions available as you can find here. https://xmfirmwareupdater.com/miui/sweet/
If you want the latest version of Android with recent security patch, try lineage os or crdroid. But you have to unlock the bootloader and spend little time tinkering on it. You can find a lot of YouTube videos with step by step instructions. I have a device that runs on crdroid with Android 14.
small status update: i tried the update packages (from both cfirmwareupdater and mi community) and it errored out with the message that the update could not be verified. so i probably need to go the fastboot route anyways so i probably just use an up to date custom rom directly
