Coinbase: Over 95% of Code Now Written or Assisted by AI, AI Agents’ Workload Equivalent to 1,200 Employees

Odaily reported that Rob Witoff, Head of Platform at Coinbase, stated that currently over 95% of the company's code is written or completed with the assistance of AI, a significant increase from the 40% figure disclosed in February this year. In an interview with Cointelegraph, Rob Witoff, Head of Platform at Coinbase, said: “In fact, 100% of Coinbase employees use AI every day.” Witoff indicated that currently, most engineers at Coinbase simultaneously operate 5 to 10 AI Agents. The combined work capacity of these AI Agents is equivalent to approximately 1,200 employees.

He predicts that by 2030, Coinbase's AI Agents could potentially handle the workload equivalent to 100,000 employees. However, he noted that key areas such as core cryptography still require human involvement, with AI primarily used for code testing, vulnerability checking, and prototype development. (Cointelegraph)
