## Definition

MiMo Code is an open-source, terminal-native AI coding agent from Xiaomi's MiMo team, built to sustain decision quality across hundreds of execution steps — the key failure mode of every prior coding agent. It ships a four-layer cross-session memory architecture so the agent never loses project context as tasks grow long.

[Released June 10, 2026](https://github.com/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Code) under MIT license as v0.1.0 and built on the OpenCode runtime, MiMo Code pairs its harness with Xiaomi's [MiMo-V2.5](https://mimo.xiaomi.com/mimo-v2-pro) — a 310B sparse-MoE model with a 1M-token context window — and posts 62% on SWE-Bench Pro versus Claude Code's 57%, with the advantage widening past 200 execution steps.

## Analogy

Think of it as a coding agent with a secretary who files every decision so the engineer never has to re-explain the project.

## Why it's emerging now

Xiaomi released MiMo Code V0.1.0 on June 10, 2026 — free, MIT-licensed, built on OpenCode, bundled with MiMo-V2.5 (1M context, no account required). It scored SWE-Bench Pro 62% vs Claude Code's 57%, with 65%+ win rate past 200 execution steps across 1,213 paired comparisons. Within 48 hours: 5.8k GitHub stars, 517 HN points.
