On March 3, ByteDance officially launched Trae AI IDE (Integrated Development Environment) in China, marking the first AI-native IDE in the country. Designed to enhance collaboration between developers and AI, Trae aims to improve coding efficiency and quality at all levels.
Trae comes with doubao-1.5-pro as the default model and allows users to switch to DeepSeek R1 and V3 full-power versions, offering enhanced AI-assisted programming capabilities.
Key Features of Trae
Trae is built as an AI-native IDE, deeply integrating AI models to provide smart code completion, automated bug fixing, and optimization suggestions. Unlike traditional IDEs that rely on external AI plugins, Trae embeds AI directly into the development workflow, increasing efficiency and reducing repetitive tasks.
The platform also supports multi-model switching, enabling developers to select between doubao-1.5-pro, DeepSeek R1, and DeepSeek V3 depending on task complexity and specific requirements.
A New Era of AI-Integrated Development
The launch of Trae signifies a shift towards AI-native development environments, moving beyond plugin-based AI assistants. By embedding AI directly into the IDE, Trae enhances code coherence, debugging efficiency, and automated refactoring, transforming the developer experience.
Trae is now available to developers in China, and ByteDance plans to introduce additional AI-powered features in future updates.
