MiniMax open-sources terminal MiniMax Code agent under MIT amid privacy scrutiny
No_Issue_8224 · reddit · 2026-09-18
MiniMax has open-sourced its terminal MiniMax Code agent (0.4.12 source preview) on GitHub, offering the community something concrete to inspect amid recent debate over what encoding proxies read and store. The repo includes TUI and headless execution, shell/diff/test verification, sandboxing, Plan Mode, subagents/plugins/skills/MCP, BYOK with OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible providers, and ACP support, MIT-licensed for first-party code. Caveats: desktop app source is excluded and matching version numbers don't prove identical build provenance.
