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 open-sourced MiMo Code V0.1.0, a terminal-native AI coding assistant that the Chinese electronics giant says outperforms Anthropic's Claude Code on key agentic coding benchmarks, especially on long-horizon, multi-step tasks (200+ steps) — at least, according to its own internal beta release and survey of 576 developers. It's also bundling limited-time free access to MiMo-V2.5, its multimodal flagship model with a million-token context window, requiring no registration to get started.The release was announced June 10, 2026 in a post on the social network X from the official @XiaomiMiMo account, which described the tool as "more than an AI coding assistant in your terminal — it's the smartest coding partner you'll ever work with."MiMo Code is available now on GitHub
