mimo-tui

5-second pitch

A terminal AI coding tool exactly like Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI — except powered by Xiaomi’s MiMo model.

npm install -g mimo-tui
mimo                     # First run → guided setup with your own API key
cd ~/code/my-project
mimo

> Refactor Header.tsx into a function component
> Run npm test and fix all errors
> Write a README for this project

Why use mimo-tui instead of Claude Code

Visible usage

Real-time view of plan token balance and cache savings per request

Visible thinking

Isolated config

Lives in ~/.mimo/ — coexists with Claude Code’s ~/.claude/
