Alibaba Cloud announced today the launch of its first "AI Programmer," equipped with skills for various roles including architect, development engineer, and testing engineer. This AI Programmer is a multi-agent system built on the Tongyi large model, capable of covering different aspects such as task decomposition, coding, and testing, differing from the previous Tongyi Lingma.

Alibaba Cloud stated that this AI Programmer can complete the entire development process from task decomposition, code writing, testing, issue fixing to code submission, and can finish application development in a very short time. By introducing the AI Programmer, Alibaba Cloud aims to accelerate development efficiency, allowing human programmers to focus more on system design and core business development.

According to insiders at Alibaba Cloud, "In the future, 20% of the company's code will be written by Tongyi Lingma, but programmers will remain the core of research and development, with more time dedicated to system design and core business development." This initiative not only enhances development efficiency but also frees up programmers' time, allowing them to exercise creativity in higher-level work.

The introduction of the AI Programmer marks further application of AI technology in the field of software development. Through the multi-agent system, Alibaba Cloud's AI Programmer can efficiently handle various development tasks, providing enterprises with faster and more reliable technical support. This innovation will not only change traditional development models but also herald the potential and widespread application of AI in various industries.
