You cannot keep the Chinese companies out of it; Alibaba's AI coder can develop an app 'in minutes'

The cloud computing division of Alibaba Group has eventually launched an innovative AI coder as part of its AI programming tool named Tongyi Lingma which claims to build applications "in minutes’, reported South China Morning Post.

According to South China Morning Post, this very new tool can actually automate tasks such as understanding prompts, writing code and debugging software while significantly enhancing coding efficiency by over ten times. The coder right now utilizes Alibaba Cloud's Tongyi Qianwen family of large language models (LLMs) akin to the technology behind ChatGPT.

The introduction of this AI coder has actually sparked severe discussions among the Chinese software developers who eventually speculate that it might surpass offerings from US firms like OpenAI, asserted South China Morning Post. It should be also noted that Tongyi Lingma is the first AI coding system to support both Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code and JetBrains' IDEs while making it hugely appealing to a wide range of developers.


During recent times, Alibaba Cloud offers Tongyi Lingma for free to individual users while charging enterprise clients a monthly fee. The tool has already been adopted by several major companies and has recorded over 9 million downloads for its plug-ins, noted South China Morning Post.
