Claude and Codex pricing will eventually have to come down, for most common coding tasks you don't need a super smart slow model but a smart-enough and very fast one.
MiMo Code is now released and open-source

#82Isn't Unlimited Context pretty difficult to promise? What exactly do they mean, could I just have two agents locked into a TTRPG back and forth forever?
Do you plan to ask them some master plan to live forever?

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
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?
He didn't say MiMo Code
Saying "This" on a post about "Mimo Code" leads one to, rightly, assume you are referring to "Mimo Code". If they commentor wanted to make a comment about a specific model it would have be clearer to simply mention the model instead of getting there transitively.

#84The installation method they officially propagate is dangerous. curl -fsSL https://mimo.xiaomi.com/install | bash This is usually a PoC (Proof of concept) way to install something on a temporary container or temporary VM, but not for production use during daily desktop operation. I was hoping their documentation would provide better installation instructions. But strangely, only for Windows do they recommend "npm ins…
You're right that it's as dangerous as it's executing random third-party code on your machine, but the method also has propagated far beyond PoCs and such at this point. All of these projects and many others push that install method: Bun, Deno, rustup, k3s, Docker (if using their helper script), Homebrew, Tailscale...

#85This 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.

Sorry for confusion. I indeed meant the model itself.

Codex use this (for update).

This is just sh, not bash, but I doubt it would be any better.

This is how everyone does it now. Including Anthropic.
To be fair, is that any different from naively trusting NPM? It's not like NPM is doing any vetting. They're every threat actors favorite sandbox these days.

Sounds like they slapped in a bunch of common plugins and released it as a product to promote the free-for-a-limited-time use of their new coding AI service.
> promote the free-for-a-limited-time use of their new coding AI service Not sure which "free" service you're referring to, but MiMo v2.5 Pro is plenty capable & (after its recent 70%+ price drop) one of the most affordable options in its class ( DeepSeek v4 Pro , MiniMax M3 , & Qwen 3.7 Plus ). I read somewhere that Labs are incentivized to implement custom harnesses because each model has its strengths, quirks, & b…
What I like about MiMo too is that it is multimodal.
For example, I can send screenshots of what I'm developing and it understands.
Re: MiMo Code is now released and open-source
#89Xiaomi have been cooking a lot in recent times. Their model, especially the pro series, is underrated in my opinion. It haven't received the attention it deserves while it is pushing higher and higher in benchmark scores (looking at artifical analysis), and this was before Deepseek dropped V4.
Furthermore, their pricing plan is insanely cheap, they even upped usage limit for their cheapest plan, lite plan, which is at 5$ / month. And now, they are dropping a Harness for their own model? Amazing. I wish they added support for installation through Homebrew though.
On another note, this is what I would like to see more of from a company, what I do not welcome is startups making their model exclusive and hurt their customer base through sabotaging as a way to prevent eventual distillation attempts.
Re: MiMo Code is now released and open-source
#90Hm, can I just use free tokens without using MiMo-Code?
OpenCode or pi.dev are enough. I don't like CC-style agent lock-in, regardless if it's Anthropic or Xiaomi doing it.
