Coinbase eyes Anthropic AI to boost security
Coinbase is reportedly in talks with Anthropic to access its restricted Mythos AI model, aimed at strengthening cybersecurity capabilities.
The effort follows Anthropic’s Project Glasswing initiative, which provides select partners with tools to identify vulnerabilities, including zero-day exploits discovered during testing.
The move comes as crypto platforms face increasing threats from AI-powered attacks, with Anthropic research showing autonomous agents can exploit smart contract flaws.
Coinbase’s interest is also shaped by its 2025 insider breach that exposed data from around 70,000 users, highlighting ongoing security challenges.
Anthropic’s Mythos model has been used to uncover long-standing vulnerabilities in critical systems, reinforcing its value for high-security environments.
Access to the model remains limited to select organisations, including major tech and financial firms, with broader availability not planned.
The development underscores intensifying competition to secure digital infrastructure as AI capabilities reshape both offensive and defensive cybersecurity strategies.
