Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi has released Mimo Code v0.1.0, its latest open-source terminal-native AI coding assistant aimed at developers. The model has reportedly surpassed Anthropic’s Claude Code on some key benchmarks in agentic coding, particularly on long horizon tasks and multi-steps tasks. Long horizon tasks are simply goals assigned to an AI agent that may require numerous sequential steps, decisions, and hundreds of actions to accomplish a task.
The claims are reportedly based on its internal beta release and a survey of 576 developers. According to the company, the model reads and writes code, executes commands, manages Git operations, and maintains persistent project memory across sessions inside the terminal. Xiaomi’s latest release comes along with MiMo V2.5, a multimodal model that is free for a limited time and features a one-million-token context window.
Xiaomi describes MiMo Code V0.1.0 as a tool that is more than an AI coding assistant in your terminal. “It’s the smartest coding partner you’ll ever work with,” the company said on its X handle. The model is currently available on GitHub under an MIT license. It can be installed with a single terminal command on MacOS and Linux, and on Windows via npm. It is based on the open source OpenCode agent with Xiaomi adding its own memory system, workflow modes, and model support.
What are the key features of MiMo Code?
The AI-powered coding assistant works directly from the terminal, allowing developers to read and write code, run commands, and manage Git repositories. For the uninitiated, a Git repository is a digital folder inside a coding project that tracks all changes made to files in it, building a history over time. MiMo Code is powered by Xiaomi’s MiMo V2.5 multimodal AI which is currently free for a limited time.
