San FranciscoAnthropic’s AI agents now merge 30,000 code changes a day.

Anthropic says that is 12 times May’s rate, and Git, built for human coders, could not keep up.

Scion commits and merges on servers, so agents skip cloning, and Anthropic says it needs 1/200 of the Git mirrors’ compute.

Anthropic says Scion is no general Git replacement and will not ship as a product.

Anthropic expects merges to keep climbing, with builds and continuous integration already straining too.
