Robinhood Co. says their software is now 100% written by AI
https://www.businessinsider.com/robinhood-ceo-majority-new-code-ai-generated-engineer-adoption-2025-7
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tepes has said that the majority of his company's new code is written by AI, with "close to 100%" of engineers using AI code editors.
Eventhough they still have software engineers, the engineers are completely reliant on AI software.
Speaking on the 20VC podcast, Tepes estimated around 50% of new code at the trading platform is AI-generated.
Tepes said the 50% figure is imprecise due to advanced "agentic" code editors that have made it difficult to distinguish human-written from AI-generated code.
So in truth its close to 100%.
The company has progressed from GitHub Copilot to Cursor and now Windsurf, where "nearly all of the code is written by AI," he said. Tepes estimated only a "minority" of new code at Robinhood is written by humans.
