MiMo Code is now released and open-source
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Xiaomi releases MiMo Code, an AI coding assistant built as a fork of OpenCode with persistent memory and agentic capabilities.
MiMo Code is a terminal-native AI coding assistant that reads and writes code, runs commands, manages Git, and maintains persistent memory across sessions. Built as a fork of OpenCode, it adds features including intelligent context management, subagent orchestration, goal-driven autonomous loops, and self-improvement capabilities. The tool defaults to connecting with Xiaomi's MiMo v2.5 Pro model but supports local models. The original website defaults to Chinese with language selection available via header dropdown, though a query parameter version exists at mimo.xiaomi.com/coder?lang=en.
What commenters are saying
Commenters noted the site defaults to Chinese without persisting language preference, though a language selector and query parameter exist. Discussion centered on why Xiaomi forked OpenCode rather than contributing upstream: OpenCode is reportedly overwhelmed with 500+ pages of open issues and stalled PRs, making a fork practical. Some users reported success with MiMo Code's performance compared to alternatives like OpenCode and oh-my-pi, though geofencing restrictions affect access to certain models in some regions. Questions remain about local compatibility and telemetry.
