Today, the Xiaomi technology team officially released and open-sourced an exploratory AI programming assistant running on the terminal - MiMo Code V0.1.0. This project is a secondary development based on the open-source project OpenCode, and it is open-sourced under the permissive MIT license, allowing individuals and companies to freely modify, distribute, and integrate commercially.

As a self-evolving tool that focuses on "model Agent collaborative optimization," MiMo Code aims to break the limitations of traditional AI coding tools. Its core highlights include:

Innovative persistent memory system, solving the "AI forgetfulness": Traditional tools rely on the model's own awareness of recording, which can easily lose key information during long conversations. MiMo Code introduces three mechanisms: project memory, session checkpoints, and task progress, fully "outsourcing" the recording work to an independent Subagent. When the window is full, the Subagent automatically rebuilds a clean summary, allowing the main Agent to seamlessly continue. In addition, the built-in
/dreamcommand triggers automatically every 7 days to deduplicate, verify, and compress historical sessions, achieving memory consolidation, making the tool "understand you better over time."Dedicated Harness system and Compose mode: To address the low compatibility between models and frameworks, Xiaomi has developed a dedicated Harness system for its built-in model. Users just need to press the Tab key to switch to Compose mode, input a simple idea, and the AI will automatically complete the entire process of "design-planning-coding-testing-review." In real-world testing comparisons with Claude Code, MiMo Code adopts a strategy of "heavy planning upfront and stable verification later," which is slightly slower at first but delivers more feature-rich, well-tested industrial-grade products, resulting in less overall time spent.
Excellent performance on authoritative test sets: With the same MiMo model, relying solely on the collaborative advantages of the Agent system, MiMo Code achieved a score of 62% on SWE-Bench Pro (leading Claude Code's 57%), and 73% on Terminal Bench2 (leading Claude Code's 68%).
Support for top-tier models and full Chinese localization: The tool includes a limited-time free multimodal model MiMo-V2.5 (performance comparable to Claude Sonnet4.6), which can be used out of the box without registration. It also supports mainstream APIs and third-party Token Plans from DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, etc. A status dashboard is always displayed on the right side of the interface, and all settings have been fully translated into Chinese.
Voice interaction without manual operation: Relying on MiMo-V2.5-ASR voice recognition technology, users not only can modify instructions verbally, but also directly say commands like "send" and "execute" to achieve full verbal control.
