Coinbase says over 95% of its code is now AI-assisted

More than 95% of the code at Coinbase is now written by or with the assistance of Large Language Models (LLMs), according to Rob Witoff, the U.S. crypto exchange's head of platform. In an interview with Cointelegraph, Witoff said this figure is more than double the 40% estimate the company provided in February. He explained that while core cryptographic code is still developed by the industry's top cryptographers, AI is actively used to verify that the code functions correctly, is free of vulnerabilities, and performs accurate computations. Witoff added that this has allowed tasks that previously required more than 10 people to be handled by just two or three employees.
