On November 18, 2025, Ant Group made a splash in the tech world by launching Lingguang, a cutting-edge multimodal general AI assistant. This innovative platform boasts three core functions: Lingguang Dialogue, Lingguang Flash Apps, and Lingguang Vision. What sets Lingguang apart is its ability to allow users to craft interactive and shareable mini-apps in a mere 30 seconds using natural language, effectively pushing the envelope of AI application boundaries.

The response to Lingguang's debut was nothing short of extraordinary. On its very first day of availability, downloads surged past the 200,000 mark, and within two days, that number had ballooned to over 500,000. By the third day, Lingguang had catapulted to the 6th position on the App Store China's free app chart and claimed the top spot on the free tools chart. This remarkable surge in popularity led to a staggering 8 rounds of emergency capacity expansion within the initial 3 days to accommodate the overwhelming user demand.
