About MiMo Code

MiMo Code is Xiaomi's open-source agentic AI coding harness, released under MIT license on June 10, 2026. Developed by Xiaomi's MiMo AI team, it's a terminal-native AI coding assistant that the company claims outperforms Anthropic's Claude Code on key agentic coding benchmarks. Running the same MiMo-V2.5-Pro model in both harnesses, MiMo Code scored 62% on SWE-bench Pro versus 57% for Claude Code, and 73% on Terminal Bench 2 versus 68% โ€” demonstrating that the agent system architecture, not just the model, drives performance gains. MiMo Code excels particularly on ultra-long, multi-step tasks (200+ steps), making it ideal for complex refactoring, large-scale codebase navigation, and extended development workflows. The tool was surveyed by 576 developers and has gained strong traction on Hacker News with over 550 points.
