CodeMidas: Scaling Agentic Coding RL Environments from Code Itself

Xiaomi MiMo

Research official + media 2 src. ~1 min

An agentic pipeline that converts implemented functionality in existing open-source codebases into executable RL environments for coding agents, using only source code as task-specific input — no issues or commits needed. Agents explore the code to write behavioral specs, then build tasks with reliable verifiers.
