On the morning of June 11, Xiaomi's MiMo tech team officially released and open-sourced MiMo Code V0.1.0. The official positioning is clear: Xiaomi's first entry into the Coding Agent space.
It's an experimental AI coding assistant that runs in the terminal. Built on top of OpenCode, open-sourced under the MIT license, with a time-limited free MiMo-V2.5 multimodal model. It ships with an original persistent memory system — a triple mechanism of project memory, session checkpoints, and task progress — where the main Agent focuses on the work and logging is entirely handled by an independent SubAgent. Window getting full? The SubAgent automatically compresses a clean briefing, and the main Agent carries on. Hundreds of turns in a long-running session, and no key information is lost.
Combined with Compose mode — press Tab to switch, give a simple idea, and the system automatically runs the full pipeline: design → plan → code → test → review. SWE-Bench Pro score: 62%, five points higher than Claude Code.
Xiaomi's official statement: MiMo Code starts with programming, but it doesn't stop at programming. It's not just a handy AI coding assistant — it's an AI teammate that lives in your terminal and gets smarter the more you use it.
But if you think this is the Xiaomi AI team's first time building an Agent, you couldn't be more wrong.
1. The Project from Eight Days Ago
On June 3, Xiaomi open-sourced a project. No launch event, no press release, no Lei Jun retweet. It quietly appeared on GitHub.
The project is called SoloEngine. Apache 2.0 license, completely free.
Its positioning is far bigger than MiMo Code's — the first low-code Agentic AI development platform.
MiMo Code's entry point is the terminal — you need to know how to use the command line and understand programming concepts. SoloEngine's entry point is a visual canvas in the browser — drag Agents in, wire them up, click run. The backend automatically compiles everything into a runnable Agentic AI system.
No code needed. No need to understand technical terms like ReAct, MCP, or SubAgent.
The Xiaomi AI team's debut in the Coding Agent space was MiMo Code. But their real layout in the Agent space started with SoloEngine.
2. SoloEngine: Giving Every Industry Its Own Agent
SoloEngine solves the same problem as MiMo Code — enabling Agentic AI to handle long-running tasks, make autonomous decisions, and support multi-Agent collaboration — but the entry point is completely different.
MiMo Code is for developers. SoloEngine is for everyone.
A lawyer opens SoloEngine, drags three Agents onto the canvas — "Contract Review Agent," "Legal Statute Search Agent," "Risk Flagging Agent." Wires up the collaboration relationships, configures the tools, clicks run. 30 minutes later, a contract review report is automatically generated with 37 risk points flagged.
A cross-border e-commerce operations manager builds an Agent team on SoloEngine — one product analysis Agent, one copywriting Agent, one customer service Agent. Three Agents collaborating, one person running six online stores.
An indie developer builds a full-stack development Agent team on SoloEngine — one requirements analysis Agent, one architecture design Agent, one code implementation Agent, one testing Agent. One person doing the work of an entire team.
None of these people can write Python. But they can all build their own Agentic AI systems with SoloEngine.
That's the difference between SoloEngine and MiMo Code. MiMo Code lets developers code efficiently with Vibe Coding. SoloEngine lets people in other industries work efficiently with Vibe Everything.
3. Same Team, Same Technical Philosophy
SoloEngine and MiMo Code come from the same AI team. Though they target different users, their underlying technical philosophy is the same.
Real Agentic AI is not a preset Workflow.
Each Agent in MiMo Code runs in an autonomous decision-making loop — it decides on its own what to do next, which tools to call, and how to adjust its strategy.
Each Agent in SoloEngine also runs a ReAct loop (think → act → observe → repeat), making real-time judgments based on the current situation. When it hits something unexpected, it adjusts its own strategy. When it finds a better approach, it switches paths on its own.
MiMo Code uses a persistent memory system to solve long-session "amnesia."
SoloEngine uses multi-Agent collaboration to distribute context pressure — each SubAgent has its own independent context window, loading only the instructions and tools it needs. Progressive disclosure cuts Token consumption by over 85%.
MiMo Code uses Compose mode to go from idea to code in one click.
SoloEngine uses topological compilation to go from visual design to a runnable Agent team in one click.
Different entry points, same philosophy. Different products, same team.
4. Why SoloEngine Came First
June 3: SoloEngine. June 11: MiMo Code. First the platform for everyone, then the tool for developers.
There's a clear strategic logic behind this sequence.
The Xiaomi AI team saw a core contradiction: 87% of enterprises claim to have deployed AI at scale, but only 10% have actually gotten value from it. The gap isn't because models aren't powerful enough — MiMo-V2.5-Pro already ranks first on the global open-source model Agent index, and after a 99% API price cut, costs have dropped to "pennies."
The real problem: the ability to build Agents is locked inside the hands of developers.
Low-code Workflow platforms (Dify, n8n) are easy to pick up, but don't support true autonomous decision-making. Code-based development frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI) support autonomous decision-making, but only developers can use them.
SoloEngine fills exactly this gap — zero code plus true Agentic AI.
The Xiaomi AI team released SoloEngine first because the primary problem they're solving isn't "how developers write code" — it's "how every industry uses Agents." MiMo Code is icing on the cake; SoloEngine is the one that actually matters.
5. Xiaomi AI's Agent Map
From SoloEngine on June 3 to MiMo Code on June 11, the Xiaomi AI team completed a two-pronged layout in the Agent space in a single week:
| Product | Positioning | Release Date | Target Users | License |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MiMo SoloEngine | Low-code Agentic AI platform | June 3 | All industry professionals | Apache 2.0 |
| MiMo Code | Terminal-based AI coding assistant | June 11 | Developers | MIT |
| miclaw | Mobile AI Agent | March (closed beta) | Mobile users | - |
| Agent Ecosystem Platform | Agent distribution marketplace | April (open beta) | Developers / users | - |
Both product lines share the same model foundation — MiMo. The same technical philosophy — real Agentic AI. The same goal — letting AI complete tasks autonomously, not follow preset paths.
The Xiaomi AI team is telling the market with two products: we're not building a single tool — we're building a complete Agent ecosystem.
MiMo Code starts with programming, but it doesn't stop at programming. SoloEngine starts with Agents, but it doesn't stop at Agents.
Developers already have MiMo Code. For everyone else — it's time to meet MiMo SoloEngine.
