source: https://t.co/dSGFDdHAn5 the new system is called Scion, and Anthropic's whole monorepo is now off git. it says Claude writing so much code is both what caused the jam and how it built the fix so fast. will other labs follow?
BREAKING: Anthropic now merges over 30,000 code changes a day, up from about 2,500 in May. Git couldn't keep up, so it built its own replacement in five months.
@hunvreus@evanyou evan's take on turning open source into a business would be worth recording. people mostly hear the success stories, not what it takes after
@lmoroney having a coding agent write the three.js scene first is clever. camera moves and physics come from code, and the video model only handles the look
@victor_explore memory is where most agents still fall apart after a week. the codebase map one is what i'd try first, reading files one by one is the biggest token sink
@edinsoncode the customer usually ends up with whoever owns the workflow and the data, not the model. models get swapped every few weeks now, workflows don't
@DanKornas making the done condition explicit for each step is the big one. most agent workflows break because the model decides it's finished too early
@genspark_ai muse wonder in third-party tools this fast is a big deal for meta. wonder full is still only in muse code, so the api model is what most people will try
@jurlycat the part that stood out to me in anthropic's post: they also built a code review tool called antique in those same five months, not just scion
@hqmank 0.8x is a nice way in. artificial analysis puts argon's cost per task at about $1.99 on the discounted pricing, so real coding runs should stay cheap for now
@hqmank trying it in cursor first is the smart move, since argon in antigravity needs ultra. the launch discount ends nov 30, so now is a cheap window to test
