MiniMax open-sources MiniMax Code terminal coding agent

MiniMax has open-sourced MiniMax Code, a terminal coding agent that understands projects, modifies files and runs tests from a command-line interface, with first-party code released under the MIT license. The repository supports an interactive terminal UI, a headless execution mode for scripts and CI, and the Agent Client Protocol for editor integrations, and works with MiniMax accounts, bring-your-own API keys and compatible third-party model endpoints. MiniMax said the published source covers the terminal TUI, headless CLI and ACP components, but not the separately distributed MiniMax Code desktop application.
