MiMo Code is an AI agent that runs on the terminal, similar to Claude Code, and is developed by forking the open-source AI agent ' OpenCode '.

MiMo Code employs a mechanism where, when executing tasks, 'multiple AI agents generate candidate task execution procedures, and an evaluation agent selects the most promising candidate and proceeds with execution.' This has been shown to improve performance compared to running a single agent. It also incorporates a mechanism for executing long-term tasks, such as 'extracting the key points of a lengthy session and automatically starting a new session.'

AI agents like Claude Code can use Skills, which are sets of instructions on how to perform tasks. Skills are written in natural language as SKILL.md files, but when AI models are given instructions written in natural language, the results can be inconsistent, leading to a decrease in the overall performance of the agent. MiMo Code introduces a mechanism that generates JavaScript code based on SKILL.md files written in natural language, allowing for deterministic task execution.

According to Xiaomi, MiMo Code has become a more powerful AI agent tool than Claude Code through several improvements. The table below shows benchmark scores under the conditions of 'using

MiMo-V2.5-Pro with MiMo Code,' 'using MiMo-V2.5 with MiMo Code,' 'using MiMo-V2.5-Pro with Claude Code,' and 'using Claude Sonnet 4.6 with Claude Code,' with MiMo Code recording the highest score. In addition, when 576 human developers were asked to compare the performance of MiMo Code and Claude Code without knowing the type of AI agent, MiMo-V2.5 recorded a 65% win rate in complex tasks with more than 200 steps.

The installation instructions and detailed usage of MiMo Code are summarized in the following document.
