Chen Zhijie joined ByteDance in April 2022 as a Senior Technical Director, primarily responsible for TikTok's recommendation algorithm team and data science team. Prior to this, he worked at Baidu for nearly nine years, where he served as Chief Technical Architect, accumulating extensive technical experience. The news of his departure has garnered significant attention in the industry, especially given that his chosen entrepreneurial direction is currently a hot topic.
AI Coding is a popular area of technological development, with the global AI coding tools market expected to exceed $29.5 billion by 2032. As market demand increases, many companies and startups have entered this field, including some unicorn companies like Cursor.
The domestic market is gradually attracting the attention of investors, with several related projects already launched. Recently, Ming Chaoping, the product head of the overseas project Noisee from the previous month, also chose to enter the AI Coding field.
Now, with Chen Zhijie's departure and startup, the development of AI Coding in China may accelerate further. All parties are looking forward to whether this field can produce new unicorn companies in the domestic market, further promoting technological innovation and industry development.
