Xiaomi's new open source, agentic AI coding harness MiMo Code beats Claude Code at ultra-long, 200+ step tasks
Xiaomi’s open-source MiMo Code assistant uses a unique subagent for long-horizon memory, outperforming Claude Code on 200+ step tasks.
What: MiMo Code V0.1.0 includes a cross-session memory system that enables agents to track project decisions and issues, making it more effective at complex coding workflows compared to standard LLM-based assistants.
Why it matters: The inclusion of an independent 'memory' subagent suggests that managing context across sessions is the primary hurdle for agents attempting to perform full-scale software engineering tasks.
Takeaway: Try the MIT-licensed MiMo Code on GitHub if your development workflows involve complex, multi-session tasks that frequently lead to context loss in other AI coding tools.

MiMo Code V0.1.0 is an open source terminal-native AI coding assistant from Xiaomi. It outperforms Claude Code on key agentic coding benchmarks, particularly on long-horizon, multi-step tasks. MiMo Code features a cross-session memory system that uses an independent subagent to take notes of decisions, issues, and the scope of the project as it progresses. The model is available on GitHub under an MIT license.
