The 2026 Changsha 1024 Programmer Day and AI Builders Conference Opens, CSDN Releases the DevOrder Order Platform

On October 24, the 2026 Changsha 1024 Programmer's Day and AI Builders Conference, hosted by Changsha Developer Technology Co., Ltd. (CSDN) and co-organized by Changsha Software Park Co., Ltd., opened at Changsha Zhigu (Hunan Xiangjiang New Area). The conference is themed "Embodied Together, Building the Future with Intelligence." October 24 features the opening ceremony and Tech Heroes Meeting, two sub-forums, two build sessions, and the 1024 Expo, drawing enterprises, developers, university teams, and industry experts from across the country to gather by the Xiang River, with an offline attendance of over 1,500 people.

Building the Future with Intelligence in Progress

At 9 a.m., the 2026 Changsha 1024 Programmer's Day and AI Builders Conference opened. Jiang Tao, founder and chairman of CSDN, director of the OpenAtom Open Source Foundation, and chairman of the Singularity Intelligence Research Institute, delivered remarks at the opening ceremony; subsequently, Zhang Liu, a second-level inspector of Xiangjiang New Area, delivered remarks. Zhang Liu stated, "1024 is both a fundamental scale in the information technology field and a spiritual coordinate for programmers and scientific and technological workers. Xiangjiang New Area treats the software and artificial intelligence industries as strategic pillar industries for priority cultivation, and has gathered more than half of the province's key software and artificial intelligence enterprises, with more than 200,000 software and information technology talents."

The opening ceremony began with the entrepreneurial flash talk "In the AI Era, Building Dreams by the Xiang River," in which four young entrepreneurs who started businesses in Changsha each gave a one-minute speech. They noted that Changsha has won the title of "Happiest City" for 18 consecutive years, and called on entrepreneurs to come to Changsha for development based on their own firsthand experiences.

Among the multiple keynote speeches, Jiang Tao, in the first keynote speech "Developer Dividends in Silicon-Based Time," proposed "silicon-based time": when AI begins to take on execution, output no longer equals headcount multiplied by work hours; the way teams scale shifts from "adding headcount" to "adding tokens," and time can be purchased for the first time.

Guests including Xiao Xiangjiang, founder and chairman of Hunan Chaoneng Robot Technology Co., Ltd.; Su Yang, co-founder of Lingxin Qiaoshou; Zeng Hui, senior vice president of Galaxy General Robot; Wang Jianzong, chief technology officer of Huilun Technology; Wang Lei, senior engineer of the Government Services and Data Management Bureau of Longgang District, Shenzhen; Li Jianzhong, president of the Singularity Intelligence Research Institute and senior vice president of CSDN; Sun Ke, product lead of Lenovo AI Host; and Ma Lin, technical director of SenseTime, held in-depth discussions on frontier topics such as embodied intelligence, government AI, the agent ecosystem, and local large models. From multiple dimensions, they jointly outlined an innovation landscape and development path in which AI moves from a tool to a productive force and humans and machines are redeployed.

The roundtable dialogue that followed was themed "The Boundaries and Truth of Agents: From AI Coding to AI Office," moderated by Dong Shixiao, deputy editor-in-chief of CSDN, with Li Jianzhong, Ma Lin, Sun Ke, Kuang Wenqiang of Huawei Cloud CodeArts, and Zhu Jing of Maiya AI on stage together. Combining their frontline observations in large model R&D, intelligent hardware deployment, and enterprise service practice, they engaged in deep exchange around the common industry question of "when AI fully takes over execution-type work, where exactly should the core value of humans be anchored."

It is worth noting that DevOrder, CSDN's order platform for AI developers, was officially released, with the first batch open in directions including training data, embodied intelligence, chip operators, and FDE delivery. Developers no longer sell only work hours—the acceptance criteria, tests, and Skills of an order are written back into personal assets, and the next order starts from a higher place.

In addition, Quanying Semiconductor and CSDN joined hands to build the "Qingzhu Community" open source platform and jointly advance development cooperation on a domestic computing power operator library; Hunan Chaoneng Robot and CSDN reached a cooperation consensus in three major areas: the construction and operation of embodied intelligence training grounds, talent cultivation, and innovation and entrepreneurship incubation; and Lingxin Qiaoshou and CSDN established collaborative relationships in areas such as co-building dexterous manipulation data, developing dexterous hand skills, and building an open source developer community.

Beijing-Changsha Synergy, Co-building the Embodied Intelligence Industry Ecosystem

The Beijing·Changsha Embodied Intelligence Summit Forum opened with a "two-city dialogue," with enterprise and university representatives from Beijing and Changsha on the same stage, and nearly 100 industry figures in attendance for exchange. In the keynote speech session, Liu Yi, president of Analysys; Mo Yilin, co-founder and chief scientist of Lingyu Intelligence; Liu Zikang, founder and CEO of Guangzhui Interaction; Li Xiangdong, vice president of the Qiyuan Robot product line; Wang Ting, deputy general manager of Hunan Chaoneng Zhijiao Technology; and Deng Wenping, chairman and CEO of Viewtrix Robot, held in-depth discussions on frontier topics such as embodied intelligence industry trends, real-world scenario deployment, human-machine interaction boundaries, and industry implementation.

As the closing segment of the entire forum, the roundtable dialogue centered on "Challenges and Opportunities in the Development of the Embodied Intelligence Industry and Regional Cooperation," moderated by Wang Jianzong, chief technology officer of Huilun Technology, with representatives from Beijing's Songyan Dynamics, Lingxin Qiaoshou, and Guangzhui Interaction, together with Changsha's Viewtrix Robot and Hunan University, on stage in dialogue, jointly exploring how the two cities can carry out synergy in scenario applications, data resources, talent cultivation, and industrial chain layout.

Government and Enterprises Seated Together, Jointly Exploring New Paths for InnerSource Implementation

At the "AI + Government" themed forum, a "government and enterprise seated together" dialogue confronted the core pain points head-on. Tan Zhongyi pointed out the "three chronic ailments" of digital government—duplicated system construction, vendor technology lock-in, and slow emergency response; benchmarking against overseas paths of "mandatory code sharing" and "use first, buy later, build on demand," Shenzhen Longgang's "Longyuan" platform has compressed system delivery cycles from months to days. Li Chao, vice president of technology at AtomGit, introduced that the Longyuan platform adopts an architecture of a unified base paired with two types of tools, enabling business cadres to build applications on their own, with all deployment on the government intranet to ensure data does not leave the domain. Song Lixiang's "Tianxin Practice" also delivered notable results: the Government Service Xiaotian system covers 60 voice interaction scenarios, and the "Tianxin Hong" platform has reduced processing steps by 75% and processing time by 74.1%. Zhu Hailin is driving the transformation of government data into services callable by Agents, with a single intelligent data query capability supporting multiple service entry points; the "Silicon-based Squad" led by Duan Sibei is rooted in 12 departments in Longgang, collaboratively building 17 applications, cutting scheduling time from 2-3 hours to 2-3 minutes.

In the roundtable discussion session, attending guests also exchanged views on topics such as the division of responsibilities between government and enterprises, the formulation of construction standards, and the optimization of operating mechanisms. The InnerSource development model retains data assets on the government side, AI technology empowers the business frontline with productivity, and government services are accelerating their upgrade from "can be handled" to "intelligently handled."

Two Hands-on Practical Sessions Ignite a Developer Frenzy

The Amazon Web Services Kiro special session maxed out the intensity with a 150-minute "Wild Idea Extreme Development" challenge, with three tracks launched simultaneously on site, review sessions and a "Wild Idea Auction" taking turns on stage, and the champion, runner-up, and third place decided on site; the SenseTime Xiaohuanxiong special session used a 90-minute "AI Application Rapid Build" to guide participants to bring real work tasks or on-site designated topics and, under the guidance of a professional coaching team, learn while practicing, quickly turning ideas into application results that can be demonstrated and voted on. On-site workstations were once in hot demand, and participants chatted while working, making for a very lively atmosphere.

Cutting-edge Tools Reach the Exhibition Site Directly

The 1024 exhibition, open concurrently with the conference, put cutting-edge AI tools directly into participants' hands. 22 companies showcased their signature capabilities in a concentrated display, with crowds thronging the booths of Huawei, Lenovo, SenseTime, NetEase, Rokid, Elastic, Wuliangchun, and Chuanshan Technology; Lenovo's AI host P7 especially showed off its muscle, running a hundred-billion-parameter model locally with just 30W of power consumption, making hardcore technology no longer out of reach.

The streets outside the exhibition were transformed into a "technology playground," with three activities drawing plenty of attention: in front of the Huawei Computing Code Lab and Open Mic, developers wrote code on site while speaking their whimsical ideas into the microphone; the Lingxin Qiaoshou robot band performed on the spot, while Ecovacs robots wandered around the booths on their own patrol, drawing crowds of onlookers.

In the past, CSDN helped developers create software; now, developers are beginning to use AI to bring capabilities into every industry, every device, and every real-world scenario. From the dialogue at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in 2020 to the more than 1,500 people on site in Changsha Zhigu in 2026, over seven years, what has changed is the tools, the number of sessions, and the scale; what has not changed is developers walking side by side with AI. The conference has come to a close, but the rhythm jointly built by developers and AI has not stopped—the next stop is written into the programs of every real-world scenario.
