MiMo Code: Xiaomi terminal coding agent betting on memory and self-evolution
Xiaomi open-sourced terminal-native AI coding assistant, TypeScript built with bun. The source is MIT but usage is additionally bound by USE_RESTRICTIONS.md, the MiMo terms of service and the trademark policy - read those before treating it as plain MIT. The README states it is a fork of OpenCode: it keeps the multi-provider, TUI, LSP, MCP and plugin core and adds persistent memory (SQLite FTS5 full-text search across four kinds - project MEMORY.md, session checkpoints, scratch notes and task progress - injected automatically on session resume), intelligent context management (near the limit it rebuilds from the latest checkpoint plus project memory plus task progress plus retained recent messages, ranked by importance against a token budget), goals and stop conditions (/goal sets the condition, and when the agent wants to stop a separate judge model assesses whether it was truly met, which targets optimistic early quitting), and deterministic JS workflows in a sandbox (compose splits independent tasks into isolated git worktrees with per-task TDD; also deep-research, fact-check with three-reviewer adversarial voting, and research-experiment with an anti-metric-gaming audit). Twenty built-in skills (arxiv, claude-code, codex, docx, pdf, pptx, xlsx, html-to-video, product-design and more), compatible with four skill roots - .agents/skills, .claude/skills, .codex/skills, .opencode/skills - where a user skill of the same name overrides the built-in. /dream and /distill are its signature: the first distils recent session trajectories into project memory and prunes stale entries, the second finds your repeated manual routines and packages high-confidence candidates into reusable skills. Model agnostic - the Xiaomi platform, Codex/ChatGPT OAuth, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. 13.4k stars. We have not installed or run it; memory-restore accuracy, judge-model effectiveness and the vendor-stated cache hit rates are unverified by us, so it is graded as pending reproduction.
