AI-generated code in short-term front-end development
Tuya said nearly 40% of its short-term front-end code was generated with AI systems
Problem
Tuya, an IoT platform company, wanted to speed up its internal software development.
Approach
The company used AI systems inside its own R&D process. On its Q4 2025 earnings call, CFO Alex Yang said AI generated the code in part of that work, the short-term front-end development process. Tuya did not name the tools or say when the practice began.
Results
Takeaway
Tuya reported the share of AI-written code for one narrow part of development, not for its whole code base.
