Artificial intelligence tools were instrumental in discovering a critical vulnerability in the Coldcard wallet's code. One AI model reportedly found the bug in just eight minutes, while another, without internet access, identified it in 20 minutes at a cost of approximately $2.
“Presumably somebody pointed their lasers of, you know, their AI agents looking at this code trying to find out what could have been going wrong that caused all these keys from the same vendor to get hacked.”
“And reportedly, somebody used Quad code to look at this code and found the vulnerability in eight minutes.”
“So somebody else took GLM 5.2 and open model, gave it no internet access and was able to find this bug in 20 minutes.”
