Crypto Firms Struggle to Gain Access to Powerful AI Models

Crypto exchanges and firms are seeking access to powerful AI models to strengthen their code against attacks, but only select few have gained access so far. Coinbase has secured access to Anthropic's restricted Mythos model, while Binance is still waiting for similar access.

Anthropic says that the Model 5 uses the same underlying technology as its publicly available Fable 5, but without safeguards that restrict sensitive cybersecurity work.

Crypto security executives interviewed by Cointelegraph say there's a need to initially restrict access to frontier cyber models, but continuing to gate them becomes harder to justify once publicly available models approach the same capabilities.
