Is that Open-Source like, run it locally, no phone home included, or open source like the thin front-end layer is all that is actually open-source but it’s an empty shell without the remote API it relies on?

They default it to talking to a free version of their model (which is incredibly cheap if you decide you like it.)

But it seems trivially easy to run it against local models. Their onboarding guide offers that option, though I have no idea if it changes any functionality.

This is my favorite of the Chinese models I have tried. I think it would be hard to know if I was using Opus of MiMo if blindfolded in many instances.

Yes, but this has nothing to do with MiMo (the model).

This is what Claude Code is to Claude

MiMo Code is not a model, it's a harness like Claude Code / OpenCode / Codex (which is still open source, Apache 2.0, btw).

You might mean the MiMo-V2.5-Pro model?

"MiMoCode is built as a fork of OpenCode." Why not just contribute to OpenCode instead of creating a clone :/

Because they want to optimize it for their models and don't want to be blocked by waiting for PRs to merge or be rejected. There's plenty of reasons to start your own fork that you have full agency of, as long as the OSS License is maintained anyone will be able to benefit from any new features they want to make use of.

This is the beauty of open source :) KHTML -> WebKit -> Blink is a good example.
