## Summary

Greg Brockman says OpenAI built Pando, a new Git backend for its monorepo that handles more pushes and fetches without changing how engineers and agents use Git. The author says Pando cut push latency by about 80% and now serves nearly a petabyte of Git data a day. He adds that OpenAI is considering offering Pando to others and invites interested parties to contact him.

## Why it matters

The post shows a major internal infrastructure change that keeps Git unchanged for engineers, offering a concrete case of scaling developer tooling for AI agent workloads.

## Post

Pando is a Git backend which can scale to very large monorepos. We took the hard road of continuing to use Git, which means we could enable Pando with no change to devex. Considering providing this to others, let me know (gdb@openai.com) if you'd be interested.
