Xiaomi MiMo Code

Xiaomi's AI coding agent forked from OpenCode, open-sourced under MIT. The killer feature is the built-in MiMo Auto channel β€” zero config, free for 1 month, runs MiMo-V2.5 with 1M token context. Coding performance is on par with Claude Sonnet 4.6 on SWE-Bench, but 40-60% more token-efficient. Highlights: cross-session memory, voice input, auto knowledge distillation. After the free period, you need a Token Plan subscription.

Pros

  • βœ“Free for 1 month, zero config
  • βœ“Coding on par with Claude Sonnet 4.6
  • βœ“40-60% more token-efficient than Claude
  • βœ“1M token context window
  • βœ“Persistent cross-session memory
  • βœ“Voice input and auto knowledge distillation
  • βœ“MIT open source, BYOK supported

Cons

  • βœ—Free for only 1 month
  • βœ—Free channel only gives V2.5, Pro requires payment
  • βœ—Credit multiplier is high β€” advertised 1.6B credits sounds more than it is
  • βœ—Ecosystem still early, community building
  • βœ—Real-name auth required for paid plans
