Chinese Text-To-App 'Vibe Coding' Tool Went So Viral It Crashed

Software engineers have been increasingly relying on AI to help with complex coding tasks, a practice known as "vibe-coding."

The app, LingGuang, launched last Tuesday and reached over 1 million downloads in four days. By Monday, the app crossed 2 million downloads, according to the developer - Ant Group (an affiliate of the Chinese conglomerate Alibaba Group), while LingGuang ranked #1 on Apple's mainland China App Store for free utilities apps, and #6 overall for free apps.

Shortly after going viral, the 'flash program' feature temporarily crashed amid a flood of users.

The flash program allows users to create personalized, interactive apps using natural language prompts in 30 seconds. According to Ant Group, people are creating apps like 'kid activity generators' and car cost savings calculators.

"LingGuang is bringing every user their own personal AI developer: someone who can code, create visuals, build programs, and turn complex ideas into simple solutions — right in your pocket," according to a Tuesday press release from Ant Group CTO He Zhengyu.

On Monday, the company said that the explosive popularity makes LingGuang "a key player worth following in the quickly evolving global AI race," noting that the app hit its first million downloads faster than ChatGPT and Sora.

Beyond the flash programming feature, LingGuang is being advertised as a multimodal AI tool that can generate 3D models, interactive charts, animations and other illustrations in order to help users understand abstract concepts. The tool also includes an "AGI camera" that can understand inputs in real time and help users analyze or edit pictures or videos on the fly.

yeah... gonna beat the numbah with those build out partnerships.

Enron/Enoff accounting.

short if you dare, Mr. Burry.

Back in the go go daze computer associates (RIP) had an analyst conference at the Waldorf Astoria.. in those days the street would show up to those, get fed like cattle, top shelf, and then moo quietly for the presentation given afterward. I was on the telephone part of it.

Suddenly the CEO actually says they made their earnings and beat because they moved future potential sales forward to the current report!!!!!! He actually said it, and NO one asked about it. When there was a FASB, that was a huge NO NO, aside from being outright Fraud. Sanjay somebody was his name. Within a year he went to prison for it, and CA ultimately went down the tubes.

Same stuff happened at Informix... and only an accidental chat with a non ranking engineer allowed me to avoid a total wipe out of my position.. which was HUGE at the time.

This AI shit smells just like that time. total fucking HUBRIS... and retail pushing the volumes while the street is ready to jump off the ship at any time.

Hi Manus, what is a falling knife that hasn't fallen yet?
