1 day agoMeet the new Chinese vibe coding app that's so popular, one of its tools crashed
When Chinese tech giant Ant Group released its new AI coding assistant tool last Tuesday, it didn't expect the app to break under its own popularity. LingGuang, an AI app for vibe coding and building apps using plain-language prompts, reached over 1 million downloads in four days. By Monday, the app had crossed 2 million downloads, the company said in a press release. On Monday, LingGuang ranked first on Apple's mainland China App Store for free utilities apps and sixth overall for free apps. Ant Group, an affiliate company of the Chinese conglomerate Alibaba Group, said on Thursday - three days after LingGuang's debut - that the app's system buckled under heavy traffic.
