Xiaomi's new open source, agentic AI coding harness MiMo Code beats Claude Code at ultra-long, 200+ step tasks
Xiaomi's MiMo AI team has launched MiMo Code V0.1.0, an open-source AI coding assistant that reportedly surpasses Anthropic's Claude Code in key benchmarks, particularly for long-horizon tasks. The tool features a unique memory system to retain context over extended coding sessions and is available for free for a limited time, promoting easy integration into existing developer workflows.
Xiaomi's MiMo AI team has introduced MiMo Code, an open-source AI coding assistant with a persistent memory system that significantly improves performance on long-horizon, multi-step tasks. This system, which uses SQLite FTS5 for cross-session memory, addresses the common issue of context window limits in AI coding agents by employing a "checkpoint-writer" subagent for real-time updates, ensuring continuity without losing operational momentum. This innovation positions Xiaomi as a strong contender in the AI coding agent market, especially for developers dealing with complex, multi-session projects.
