For Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi, the most important part of the GLM 5.2 experiment was its cost:

“GLM 5.2 running for 20 minutes costs about $2. So what does that mean? It means we are in a new world.”

The model reportedly rediscovered the vulnerability linked to the recent ColdCard theft after researchers directed it toward the affected software.

There is no evidence that the thieves used AI. The test instead shows how cheaply attackers and developers can now examine code that protects large amounts of cryptocurrency.

Key Takeaways

  • GLM 5.2 reportedly rediscovered the ColdCard vulnerability in approximately 20 minutes for about $2.
  • The test took place after the incident and does not establish that AI was involved in the theft.
  • Low-cost models make it easier to review old Read Entire Article
