Internal AI-assisted software development with TRAE
ByteDance said more than 80% of its engineers used TRAE to assist development
Problem
ByteDance sought to reduce software-development work through AI assistance within engineers' coding environment.
Approach
ByteDance developed TRAE, an AI coding environment with code completion and natural-language programming. Technology vice president Hong Dingkun reported widespread internal use in June 2025. He said a substantial share of code was AI-generated, without giving a company-wide percentage.
Results
Takeaway
The reported adoption rate established broad engineering use. It did not quantify development-time savings or changes in software quality.
