Xiaomi released MiMo Code V0.1.0 on GitHub on June 10, 2026, under an MIT license. It's a terminal-native AI coding agent built on a fork of the open-source OpenCode project, and it targets one of the most persistent frustrations with AI programming tools: losing track of earlier context mid-project.
Most AI coding assistants depend entirely on a model's active context window. When a long project fills that window, the AI starts forgetting earlier decisions. MiMo Code addresses this with a dedicated background subagent that monitors the main conversation continuously. As the context limit approaches, the subagent condenses the accumulated work into a structured summary; the main agent reads that summary and carries on as though nothing was lost.
There is also a /dream command that runs automatically every seven days. A maintenance agent reviews prior sessions, removes duplicates, verifies file paths, and compresses everything into an updated long-term memory store — roughly equivalent to a periodic project filing pass.
Out of the box, MiMo Code ships with free access to Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.5-Pro model, a 1-trillion-parameter multimodal model. No account or sign-up is required. If you prefer a different backend, the tool supports DeepSeek, Kimi, and GLM. Voice input is handled by Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.5-ASR model, letting you dictate commands, correct typos by speaking, or trigger actions with words like "send" and "execute."
Xiaomi claims MiMo Code scored 62% on SWE-Bench Pro and 73% on Terminal Bench 2, outperforming Claude Code by roughly five percentage points on both. Those benchmarks are self-reported, and should be treated cautiously until independently reproduced.
Installation is a single terminal command on macOS and Linux. On Windows, install via npm. Type mimo to launch and the setup wizard walks you through model selection.
