Xiaomi launches MiMo Code with persistent memory, claims Claude Code advantage

Xiaomi has released MiMo Code, an open-source fork of the OpenCode terminal coding agent. This new version introduces a persistent memory system designed to handle long tasks, along with subagent orchestration and intelligent context reconstruction. While Xiaomi claims MiMo Code outperforms Claude Code on certain benchmarks, these results are self-reported and use an older version of Claude Code, not the top-tier Opus 4.8. Independent leaderboards show other agents, like Codex CLI with GPT-5.5, currently hold higher scores. AI

IMPACT Introduces a persistent memory system for coding agents, potentially improving performance on long-running tasks.

RANK_REASON This is a fork of an existing tool (OpenCode) with new features, not a novel frontier model release or significant industry event.
