He has led the TikTok recommendation algorithm team and data science team, and has nearly nine years of technical experience in Baidu. This move comes at a time when the field of AI Coding is booming and the market has broad prospects. It is expected that the global market size will exceed US$29.5 billion by 2032. Chen Zhijie’s entrepreneurial plan has attracted the attention of investors, which will further promote the development of the domestic AI Coding market.
According to Blue Whale Finance, Chen Zhijie, head of TikTok’s algorithm, is about to leave the company and has begun preparations for an artificial intelligence-related entrepreneurial project, focusing on AI Coding. According to people familiar with the matter, Chen Zhijie is currently in contact with investors to promote his entrepreneurial plan.
Chen Zhijie joined ByteDance in April 2022 as senior director of technology, mainly responsible for TikTok's recommendation algorithm team and data science team. Prior to that, he worked at Baidu for nearly nine years, during which he served as chief technical architect and accumulated rich technical experience. The news of his resignation has attracted widespread attention in the industry, especially as his chosen entrepreneurial direction is a hot spot in the industry.
AI coding is a hot area of current technology development. It is expected that by 2032, the global AI coding tool market will exceed US$29.5 billion. As market demand increases, many enterprises and startups have entered this field, including some unicorn companies such as Cursor.
The domestic market has gradually attracted the attention of investors, and many related projects have been launched one after another. Not long ago, Ming Chaoping, the product leader of Noisee, the overseas project of The Dark Side of the Moon, also chose to enter the field of AI Coding.
Now, with Chen Zhijie’s resignation and starting a business, the development of AI Coding in China may further accelerate.
