On April 2, it is understood that AI programming has been fully implemented within Alibaba Cloud. Insiders revealed that the company's next 20% of the code will be written by AI programming robot psychic code.

According to the source, Alibaba Cloud is fully implementing AI programming internally, using generic code to assist programmers in writing code, reading code, checking bugs, and optimizing code.To this end, Alibaba Cloud also specifically assigned a formal employee job number to Tongyi Lingma - AI001.

Alibaba Cloud sources also revealed: "The company's next 20% of the code will be written by TONGYI Lingma, but programmers are still the core of research and development, they will have more time to focus on system design and core business development work."

Analysts say that under the traditional development model, programmers spend a lot of energy every day writing repetitive code, debugging optimization, writing code comments and other basic work, significantly squeezing the time of core business code writing.Within Alibaba Cloud, TONGYI Lingma has acted as a code assistant in various development processes.

Take the API development and testing work as an example. Generic code can reduce the manual test writing time of tens of minutes to seconds, saving programmers more than 70% of the test code workload.Next, Alibaba Cloud will fully configure the generic code plug-in in internal development tools such as JetBrains IDEs and Visual Studio Code for all employees to use.

AI programming tools are breaking the boundaries of programming languages, making it easy for Java programmers to write code in different programming languages such as Python and C.At present, TONGYI Lingma has mastered more than 200 programming languages such as Java, Python, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, C / C + +, C #, etc.

It is understood that Alibaba Cloud and the first AI assistant that can automatically write code on October 31, 2023 - TONGYI Lingma. At the Hangzhou Cloud Habitat Conference, Alibaba Cloud entered "Help me write an airplane game in python" in the dialogue window of the coding software. In just a few seconds, TONGYI Lingma automatically generated more than 100 lines of code.

According to the R & D team, based on Alibaba Cloud's powerful large model capabilities and intelligent computing power, the psychic code has rapidly iterated multiple versions within 5 months, and has been fully polished before going public, and has been applied on a large scale in Alibaba Cloud.

Compared to manual test writing, which takes several minutes to tens of minutes, psychic code can generate test code in milliseconds, with satisfactory accuracy and coverage. In terms of compatibility, psychic code supports JetBrains family bucket and Visual Studio Code, supports more than 30 mainstream programming languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, C / C + +, and can automatically identify programming languages and generate code interpretation.
