Ant Groupâs AI Coding App Crashes Faster Than Your WiFi
KEY POINTS
- â˘Ant Group launched LingGuang, an AI coding app, on a Tuesday in mainland China.
- â˘LingGuang hit 1 million downloads in four days and 2 million by the following Monday.
- â˘On Monday, it reached first place for free utilities apps on Apple's mainland China App Store.
- â˘The appâs flash programming tool temporarily crashed three days after launch due to overwhelming user demand.
In a dazzling display of "too much love," Ant Group's new AI coding sidekick, LingGuang, racked up 1 million downloads in just four days last week, surpassing OpenAI's ChatGPT and Sora speeds â a record broken so fast the 'flash program' tool literally crashed under pressure on October 10, 2025. This Chinese AI maestro boasts features like creating kid activity generators, car cost calculators, 3D models, and even a real-time 'AGI camera' for live editing, all sparked from sweet, plain-language prompts. The app skyrocketed to #1 among free utilities on Apple China by Monday, showing that Jack Ma's tech clan isnât just playing, theyâre sprinting in the AI marathon.

LingGuangâs flash program crashed because apparently letting millions code on an app built in under a week is fine, but stability? Too much to ask from Ant Groupâs AI miracle magic.
Trying to break download records is great, but crashing your own appâs flash tool shows AI might be better at creating chaos than code.
Ant Group made an AI coder that breaks when itâs too popular. Proof that even code can throw a diva meltdown under pressure.
