macOS binary (mimocode-darwin-arm64.zip ) seems broken: "“mimo” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash."
the OS is broken, in this case.
MiMo Code is now released and open-source

#92Claude 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.
I don't think many understand that Sonnet and even Haiku can probably accomplish their task, instead of them invoking a beast like Opus to tell them about todays weather.
Re: MiMo Code is now released and open-source
#93Xiaomi 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 a…
Looks like they have very effective collaboration with DeepSeek and Kimi. Those three models have been bouncing ideas and sharing R&D innovation, which made all of them improve very fast.
Based solely on quality and price, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other western models just can't compete with the new generation of Chinese open models.

#94What a transformation by Xiaomi to build almost frontier level models. Five years back, when I was in the data science team, they dint really bother about AI models and were using Baidu for NLP and vision under the hood of their APIs

#95The 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…
We've had this discussion since Eazel Linux desktop popularized bash | curl in 2001. > npm install ... is a much better approach to managing installed packages. No. Until the upcoming version of npm is out, npm will also run arbitrary code. Almost all common installation tools run arbitrary code. Not doing that is sadly the exception for now.
Isn't executing arbitrary code kind of the entire point of NPM though? Any chance you have a link to something that describes their plans?
Re: MiMo Code is now released and open-source
#96Pretty neat that you can just install it and start using it (at a Sonnet 4.6-level model) without needing to sign in or pay. Typically, Chinese websites are a big pain to log in or sign up because they require a +86 phone number due to legal reasons. Being able to use it without having to make an account is amazing for friction reduction. I could probably even just install it onto new machines to help with set up. I…

No, you are just experiencing the best of Apple. How dare you download non notarized binaries on your own computer? Do you have a license for that? Terminal > sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine > Drag and drop the app into terminal > enter and enter your password
Strange, I reckon I installed Tahoe just a while ago and still didn't have a similar issue, but I remember on previous MacOS versions the error message for unotarized binaries, was to warn that there was indeed a security issue with the binary, not that it was simply "damaged".
A bit crappy on Apple's side.
Thank you.

> at a Sonnet 4.6-level model
MiMo v2.5.0-Pro is honestly the first Chinese model that I've tried where I really though why should I use Claude Sonnet when I can get the same results for a fraction of the cost. There was always something off about Chinese models that made it apparent that it couldn't fully compete with GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. but this was the first model where I was like, this feels like Sonnet.
I can't prove it, but I think they trained heavily on Claude output. From my perspective I don't care since Anthropic trained on my data.
Using them also works well for North Americans as our peak hours is not theirs.
If I had one complaint, the v2.5.0-Pro model thinks too much.

I don't known how Codex works, but we can set environment variables and point Claude CLI to deepseek. I think that before slashing prices they will slash those environment variables. After all they are not working to give a free TUI to deepseek and possibly to other competitors. But eventually yes, prices will go down or there will be an attempt at a regulatory capture.

No. npm is a package manager. As mentioned in the comment you're replying to, almost all package managers execute arbitrary code. Eg:
- pip
- Cargo
- apt/dpkg
- dnf/yum
- Homebrew
- RubyGems
- Composer (limited)
- Maven
