AI Coding with Qoder @ Silicon Valley

# Coding in the AI-Native Era: Introducing Qoder to Silicon Valley
As we stand at the fresh starting point of 2026, software development paradigms are undergoing a radical "AI-Native" reconstruction. If the past was the era of Copilot assistance, we have now officially entered the deep waters of the AI-Native age.
On January 31, 2026, Qoder makes its official debut in the San Francisco Bay Area.
This is more than a product launch; it is a deep dive into the reality of Software 2.0. Qoder invites developers, founders, and tech leaders from Silicon Valley and across North America to witness how AI Coding is evolving from a "tool" to a "partner," and to experience building your first agent on-site.
