China News Service, Shanghai, September 10 (Li Qiuying) On September 9, the Bund Hackathon·AI Coding Competition completed the Guinness World Record certification, setting a new record for "the most developed applications in the online generative artificial intelligence programming marathon competition" based on the number of AI application works, becoming China's first event to challenge the world record with the theme of AI Coding. The competition attracted tens of thousands of contestants and completed a total of ten thousand AI application works. In the end, a 9-year-old contestant won the championship.

This competition was initiated by the Bund Conference Organizing Committee, co-sponsored by Xiaohongshu and Guanxi, and co-organized by more than ten leading domestic AI Coding platforms. At the award ceremony, 11 leading AI Coding platforms also jointly released the "Technical Specifications for the AI Coding Open Challenge", which consolidated the practice of large-scale competitions into industry standards.
When tens of thousands of people began to use AI to turn ideas into applications, "National Coding" had a specific large-scale sample for the first time. Hu Xiaowen, the official certifier of Guinness World Records, said: "Chinese contestants are setting records in new ways and bringing the creativity of the AI era into this global 'achievement file.'"
The Guinness World Record challenged by the Bund Hackathon AI Coding Competition is "the most applications developed in an online generative artificial intelligence coding marathon competition." According to the record rules, contestants need to complete original application development online, and their works must meet the corresponding MVP standards and be officially reviewed and certified by Guinness World Records. In the end, the competition completed the record challenge with 15,577 application works.
Nearly 70% of the contestants are under 18 years old, and the youngest contestant is only 6 years old. 9-year-old Luo Ange used AI to create "Coil Laboratory: Metamorphosis of Clay", turning his experience of participating in Jiangxi Ceramics Summer Camp into an online digital museum. She continued to talk to AI using natural language, iterated her work to V7.4 within two days, and finally won the first prize.

In her view, AI is a bit like the clay her father played with when he was a child, "it can make the ideas in his head come true." "I was lucky enough to play both. The real clay gave me the experience, and the AI helped me turn it into a game." She said that her biggest realization was, "I didn't understand many things at first, but after working with the AI to create them, I started to understand a little bit." Contestant Ge Ruihang, who is also 9 years old, created a "Geometry Laboratory" to turn the originally abstract geometric formulas into directly operable learning tools through dragging, interaction, etc.
They are not all programmers, but they all use AI to turn a specific idea into a runnable application. From children and students to product managers and public welfare practitioners, more and more people who have nothing to do with programming are beginning to use AI to participate in digital creation.
This competition was initiated by the Bund Conference Organizing Committee, co-sponsored by Xiaohongshu and Guanxi, and co-organized by more than ten leading domestic AI Coding platforms. Ant's Lingguang, QMUSE, WeaveFox, Baidu Miaoda, Alibaba Qoder, Miaowu, Alibaba Cloud Bailian, Tencent Toast, ByteDance Button, SenseTime Raccoon, 360nm and other domestic mainstream AI Coding platforms collectively appeared to participate in this AI Coding challenge for the public.
