> MiMoCode is built as a fork of OpenCode. It keeps all core OpenCode capabilities (multiple providers, TUI, LSP, MCP, plugins) and adds persistent memory, intelligent context management, subagent orchestration, goal-driven autonomous loops, compose workflows, and self-improvement via dream/distill.

From github

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.

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, & blindspots (like Qwen forking Gemini CLI)?

[gbalduzzi]

I'm guessing the greatest reason behind each provider creating and agent harness is that (a) there is not a clear winner still and (b) it is harder to switch models with a competitor, as you also have to switch harness

[jeremyjh]

But you really don't have to switch. MiMo Code has the same provider support as OpenCode.

Even Claude Code you can use with any provider that exposes an anthropic API endpoint, which they all do.

Or by using a proxy, yeah. Personally I would still prefer a multi provider harness over CC when using it with another provider, if alone for the visible reasoning, model switcher, cost estimation and so on. So far I've only preferred CC when I needed to work with Jupyter Notebooks because it has built-in tools for that.

That was a good call. Gemini CLI is dead.

don't anthropomorphize the guillotine

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.

[indigodaddy]

Only non-pro is multimodal I believe

[mistercheese]

I thought only the MmiMo 2.5 non-pro was multimodal?

[cyanydeez]

So, basically the same thing silicon valley has been doing for the past half decade.
