Xiaomi's MiMo Code AI beats Claude Code

Xiaomi has open-sourced MiMo Code, an AI coding assistant designed to outperform Anthropic's Claude Code, particularly on complex, multi-step coding tasks. The tool features a novel persistent memory system to overcome the context window limitations that plague other AI agents, allowing for better state management across long development sessions. MiMo Code integrates directly into the terminal and offers features like voice control and a "compose mode" for autonomous development cycles. The company is also providing limited free access to its powerful MiMo-V2.5 multimodal model, aiming to attract developers with both advanced capabilities and aggressive pricing.
