  What a transformation by Xiaomi to build almost frontier level models. Five years back, when I was in the data science team, they dint really bother about AI models and were using Baidu for NLP and vision under the hood of their APIs

  Since the link is in Chinese: MiMo Code is Xiaomi’s AI agentic coding harness.“ MiMoCode is a terminal-native AI coding assistant. It can read and write code, run commands, manage Git, and use a persistent memory system to keep a deep understanding of your project across sessions while continuously improving itself.”GitHub link (English): https://github.com/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Code@dang might be better to link to the GitHub, and not for language reasons.(Edit: for posterity, original URL as submitted was [0]).[0]: https://mimo.xiaomi.com/mimocode

  > MiMoCode is built as a fork of OpenCode. It keeps all core OpenCode capabilities (multiple providers, TUI, LSP, MCP, plugins) and adds persistent memory, intelligent context management, subagent orchestration, goal-driven autonomous loops, compose workflows, and self-improvement via dream/distill.From github

  Xiaomi have been cooking a lot in recent times. Their model, especially the pro series, is underrated in my opinion. It haven't received the attention it deserves while it is pushing higher and higher in benchmark scores (looking at artifical analysis), and this was before Deepseek dropped V4.Furthermore, their pricing plan is insanely cheap, they even upped usage limit for their cheapest plan, lite plan, which is at 5$ / month. And now, they are dropping a Harness for their own model? Amazing. I wish they added support for installation through Homebrew though.On another note, this is what I would like to see more of from a company, what I do not welcome is startups making their model exclusive and hurt their customer base through sabotaging as a way to prevent eventual distillation attempts.

  Pretty neat that you can just install it and start using it (at a Sonnet 4.6-level model) without needing to sign in or pay.Typically, Chinese websites are a big pain to log in or sign up because they require a +86 phone number due to legal reasons. Being able to use it without having to make an account is amazing for friction reduction. I could probably even just install it onto new machines to help with set up.I wonder how they are gonna detect and block abuse though?

  Claude and Codex pricing will eventually have to come down, for most common coding tasks you don't need a super smart slow model but a smart-enough and very fast one.

  looks great. surprised that Xiaomi has made such great advancements in AI

  This is my favorite of the Chinese models I have tried. I think it would be hard to know if I was using Opus of MiMo if blindfolded in many instances.

  As much as I absolutely love Mimo V2.5 Pro (it's a genuinely good model), I absolutely hate the way they calculate usage in their token plan.For example: For a super small task in a small project that should not be consuming more than 500K total tokens after all tool calls included, their shown usage shot up to 152 million tokens.But, when I scroll down on the same page, a table shows usage as 3 million tokens, out of which 2.5 million were cached.This is such a huge conflict on the very same page. The bad thing is that the usage progress bar is shown against that 150 million token usage, not against that 3 million one.This has been in discussions for at least past 3 months on reddit as well, and was precisely the reason I subscribed to their lowest tier, and for a single month only.Update: their own harness, mimocode, shows total token usage as just 63.1K. We now have 3 entirely different values, differing in 3 orders of magnitude.Update 2: So, I did the exact same task this time using DS4Pro, and total token usage was just 101K (as shown by opencode).

  "MiMoCode is built as a fork of OpenCode."Why not just contribute to OpenCode instead of creating a clone :/

  I thought this was a wireless/MIMO radio project at first

  The installation method they officially propagate is dangerous. curl -fsSL https://mimo.xiaomi.com/install | bashThis is usually a PoC (Proof of concept) way to install something on a temporary container or temporary VM, but not for production use during daily desktop operation.I was hoping their documentation would provide better installation instructions. But strangely, only for Windows do they recommend "npm install -g @mimo-ai/cli," which is a much better approach to managing installed packages.For Mac/Linux, they have the strange recommendation to use the dangerous "curl <some_url> | bash." Quote:> (for the best experience, Mac users are strongly encouraged to use iTerm or the VSCode Terminal) > curl -fsSL https://mimo.xiaomi.com/install | bash:(

  I've worked a lot with MiMo in my project that pits LLMs against each other in games (clankerfights.ai). It is a very very good model for the price. MiniMax I'd say is smarter, but MiMo really touches near pareto frontier.

  Good timing, I was looking for alternatives earlier today. opencode didn't install properly and I wasn't a fan of oh-my-pi and nanocoder.MiMo code (via my z.ai coding plan) is very pleasant so far, nice UI and seems to respond faster than Claude Code. It might be injecting much less cruft into the conversation.I also got access to the mimo-2.5-pro ultraspeed model yesterday, which is really quite snappy. It does cost more than DeepSeek, though, so I'm not sure whether it's worth it yet. Definitely fast though.

  It was already open-source `https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode`

  Isn't Unlimited Context pretty difficult to promise? What exactly do they mean, could I just have two agents locked into a TTRPG back and forth forever?

  macOS binary (mimocode-darwin-arm64.zip ) seems broken: "“mimo” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash."

  I'm kind of surprised the demo UI is macOS. Are they mainly using Apple products to develop these things?

  Redditors are unhappy about their coding plan: https://www.reddit.com/r/opencodeCLI/comments/1t37dz3/xiaomi...

  That is an incredibly annoying grunge font. And what is the point of the hidden image in the background that reveals under your mouse cursor.
• submeta
  Can this be used as an alternative to Claude backend? For Ralph loops? Replacing `claude -p`? Anyone can shed a light on this?
• sheept
  It's interesting that it renders Chinese in a TUI. I wonder if that breaks anything that assumes a character is always a column wide.

  Looks an awful lot like OpenCode
• miroljub
  Hm, can I just use free tokens without using MiMo-Code?OpenCode or pi.dev are enough. I don't like CC-style agent lock-in, regardless if it's Anthropic or Xiaomi doing it.

  Is that Open-Source like, run it locally, no phone home included, or open source like the thin front-end layer is all that is actually open-source but it’s an empty shell without the remote API it relies on?
