You have most likely experienced this moment: while using a certain app, you find a feature particularly handy, secretly wondering to yourself, "How on earth was this built?" and then the thought just fades away. Because in the past, figuring out how someone else's software runs required you to understand assembly language, know how to debug, and be able to slog through pseudocode in a decompiler for days. But just last week, the barrier to entry for this was kicked straight to the floor by an o

Under the physical power consumption constraints of mobile devices, traditional rendering methods that rely on brute-force computing power are hitting a bottleneck. The demand for high-quality graphics driven by the premiumization of mobile games, coupled with the contradiction between phone heat dissipation and battery life, is forcing chip and engine manufacturers to seek new technical solutions. On July 28, Arm and Unity China signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), announcing t

Traditional operating systems belong to a tool-oriented architecture, providing file management and runtime environments, and statically responding to mouse or touch commands. However, as new form factors such as smart glasses and embodied robots emerge, the traditional architecture can no longer meet the demands for high autonomy and real-time perception, thereby driving the evolution of underlying software toward an Agentic Operating System (AIOS). In this regard, Liang Quan, Vice President of

Author | Cheng Yanjing Editor | Hu Min While the fervor surrounding Codex has not yet subsided, manual coding is being transformed by AI Coding. In the early years, Microsoft introduced GitHub Copilot into daily development workflows, bringing AI into programmers' code editors for the first time; subsequently, companies like OpenAI further explored coding agents, enabling models to acquire software engineering capabilities such as understanding requirements and executing tasks. Competition in th

Author | Xu Xiaofei Editor | Mai Guangwei "From a global perspective, AI coding has passed its steep technological phase. However, after the secondary market cooled down, the frontlines of the industry have engaged in close-quarters combat." Zhang Miao, a senior computer sector analyst at a leading domestic brokerage, told Leiphone. Recently, the AI coding market has heated up once again. Overseas, Anthropic and OpenAI are fiercely battling for users, continuously increasing free quotas and expe

The automotive industry is experiencing an unprecedented technological storm. On one hand, centralized Electronic and Electrical Architectures (EEA) are accelerating their evolution toward central brains (High-Performance Computers, HPC) and zonal controllers, causing the complexity of in-vehicle software to grow geometrically. On the other hand, Generative AI (GenAI) and AI Agents are sweeping in with a disruptive posture. However, in the realm of automotive embedded software, which pursues ult

Author | Yu Jing Editor | Ma Xiaoning, Liang Bingjian "M3 points its sword at Claude Code. " Can an open-source model simultaneously possess top-tier coding capabilities, ultra-long context understanding, and native multimodal abilities? This is almost the entire implication of an Agent. We raise this question because, since the era of OpenClaw, a company can no longer prove it is betting on the future solely through its investments in models. The victory lies entirely in Agents. MiniMax M3 seem

Author | Xu Xiaofei Editor | Mai Guangwei Last year, Google made a remarkable comeback with its large model capabilities, stealing the spotlight and even leading investors to predict a "market cap of $10 trillion." Strangely, however, Google has remained relatively unknown in the critical field of AI coding. Powerful as Google is, why has it stumbled in AI coding? Even more surprisingly, Google is not alone. Looking across the internet giants in both China and the United States, their performanc

Author | Sun Rui, Email | sunrui@pingwest.com The biggest trend on the AI product side in 2026 is that both internet giants and model providers are developing their own versions of Codex. Initially, Codex was OpenAI's product to compete with Claude Code. It started with only a CLI, targeting AI coding, but it quickly diverged from Claude Code's path, evolving into a "desktop Agent" product. Non-engineers now make up the majority of its users, and it is no longer limited to programming scenarios.

Author | Meng Yifan, Editors | Ma Xiaoning, Liang Bingjian "Cyber colleagues, who is the optimal solution for developers?" It is hard to view Coding merely as one of the many capability dimensions of large models. Compared to simple text or image generation, code has more explicit rules, strict syntax, and verifiable results, which are only part of the reasons. What makes it even more special is that on the evolutionary chain from ChatBot to Agent, Coding, involving tool invocation, data process

Author | Dong Daoli, Email | dongdaoli@pingwest.com On June 9, TRAE SOLO was officially upgraded to TRAE Work, launching simultaneously on both desktop and web platforms. The new brand proposition is straightforward: Let TRAE work for you. On the surface, this appears to be a routine rebranding. However, given TRAE's style, a name is often not just packaging, but a boundary. SOLO was more of a capability-oriented name, emphasizing whether the AI can understand goals, break down tasks, invoke too

Author | Liu Jiayi AI Coding is turning an extremely "sci-fi" concept into the daily routine of smart vehicle R&D. Imagine this: an idea thrown out during a product brainstorming session the previous day is already running on a car owner's infotainment system by the next morning. This almost "crazy" iteration efficiency once existed only in the imagination of engineers. But now, as AI Coding begins to be systematically embedded into the underlying R&D pipeline, this scenario is about to

In early 2026, Boris Cherny, the primary creator of Claude Code, made a statement during a public conversation that left the entire developer community in silence: "For me, programming has been solved." He mentioned that he uses his phone daily to orchestrate hundreds of AI agents, allowing them to handle coding, reviewing, and even communicating with each other autonomously, while he no longer writes a single line of code himself. This is not just a personal experiment by a tech geek—it is an e

In May 2026, Coding (AI programming) crossed the Rubicon. When Caesar led his army across this boundary river, Roman law dictated that no general could lead troops across it. He crossed it, triggering a full-scale civil war with no room for reconciliation. What Coding accomplished in this May was a crossing of the same nature—LLM companies collectively crossed the boundary river between "auxiliary tools" and "productivity subjects." The retreat is cut off; an all-out war has begun. In ancient Ro
