An important milestone has been reached by Trae, the AI-native integrated development environment (IDE) developed by ByteDance: as of May 2025, it has reached 1 million monthly active users and has helped developers deliver over 6 billion lines of code. This achievement highlights Trae's rapid popularity within the global developer community and its profound impact on the programming field.
Trae was officially launched in January 2025 and quickly won over developers with its AI-driven coding approach, significantly improving work efficiency and optimizing the development process. This IDE has attracted a broad user base ranging from beginners to seasoned developers by automating complex development tasks, providing real-time code suggestions, and supporting project creation driven by natural language. By May, Trae's monthly active users have exceeded 1 million, demonstrating its strong appeal within the global programming community.
The core success of Trae lies in its ability to efficiently generate and manage large amounts of code. The platform has already helped developers deliver more than 6 billion lines of code, fully demonstrating its powerful automation features and seamless integration with modern development processes. Trae's Builder mode allows users to generate complete project frameworks through natural language prompts; for example, inputting "build a shopping cart system with Redis caching and JWT authentication" will automatically generate a complete project including Dockerfile and CI/CD scripts. Additionally, the Chat mode provides real-time code debugging and optimization functions, further enhancing the development experience.
In March 2025, Trae launched a domestic version, integrating advanced models such as DouBao 1.5-Pro, DeepSeek R1, and V3, offering customized support for Chinese developers. Trae's multimodal capabilities are particularly notable, capable of generating front-end code based on Figma design files or hand-drawn sketches, with an accuracy rate of up to 91%. The development efficiency of complex systems (such as e-commerce platforms) has increased by up to 400%.
In May 2025, Trae launched an international paid subscription plan, with the first month priced at $3 and subsequent months at $10, providing users with faster access to advanced models and unlimited code completion features. The subscription model that supports Alipay has further promoted the growth of international users.
