[Coinbase CEO: Internal Platforms Should Compete Like Startups, with AI Agents as Referees] According to a report by Crypto Briefing on September 28, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong advocates that internal platforms within the company should compete with each other for users, just like external products, with AI agents evaluating performance, routing work to optimal solutions, and eliminating inefficient tools. He revealed that Coinbase has deployed approximately 1,200 full-time AI agents responsible for functions such as code reviews, design suggestions, strategic evaluations, and collaboration, resulting in roughly double the code output per developer and a reduction in defects. Armstrong predicts that the number of AI agents will eventually surpass human employees and disclosed that earlier this year, the company tested 'digital replicas of former executives' to participate in strategic discussions.
