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.

"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

Looks an awful lot like OpenCode

psychoslave

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?

I wonder what the minimum required memory specification is

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.

> 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

I got an invite to test their ultra fast model only to be geofenced when trying to use it. Pff!

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

Any english links?

Only worked for about 5m, then Too many requests.

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.

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