Xiaomi's new open source, agentic AI coding harness MiMo Code beats Claude Code at ultra-long, 200+ step tasks
EDITOR BRIEF
Xiaomi’s MiMo AI team released MiMo Code V0.1.0, an MIT-licensed, terminal-native AI coding assistant based on the OpenCode agent. The company says it outperformed Claude Code on long-horizon agentic coding benchmarks and is offering limited free access to its MiMo-V2.5 model with a million-token context window.
INSIGHTS
The launch reflects growing competition around coding agents that can manage complex, multi-session development work rather than just autocomplete or short tasks. Xiaomi’s focus on persistent memory architecture highlights a key frontier for AI developer tools: retaining project context reliably across long workflows.
