Overview

MiniMax open-sourced MiniMax Code on September 18, 2026, a terminal coding agent that understands projects, edits files, runs tests, and executes shell commands from the command line. It offers both an interactive terminal UI and a headless CLI mode for scripts and CI, works with MiniMax accounts or custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible API providers, and integrates with editors via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). The repository ships as a v0.4.12 source preview under an MIT license (with dependency licenses preserved) and had reached 1.8k GitHub stars and 206 forks shortly after release.
