Anthropic builds in-house source control to handle agent-scale code changes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic has developed and implemented an in-house source control system to manage its rapidly increasing code changes. The company experienced a significant surge in merged code changes, from approximately 2,500 per day in May to over 30,000 per day by September. This growth necessitated a new system, as their existing infrastructure, built for human scale, became a bottleneck. Anthropic successfully migrated its entire monorepo from Git to this new system within a five-month period. AI

IMPACT This development highlights the infrastructure challenges and solutions required for AI agents operating at scale, potentially influencing how other AI labs manage their development workflows.

RANK_REASON Internal tool development by an AI lab, not a core model release or research.

    New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control. In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
