Dongxi NLP relays an Anthropic engineering post saying daily merged code changes rose from about 2,500 in May to more than 30,000 in September.
Anthropic says its developer infrastructure, built for human rather than agent scale, became the bottleneck, and it built a new version control system and migrated its monorepo off git in five months.
The author argues that infrastructure for code agents should be server-centric, API-driven, sparse-access, high-throughput and strongly governed.
从五月到九月， Anthropic 每天合并代码变更从 2,500 到超过 30,000 个。为人类规模构建的 infra 成了瓶颈。
面向 code agent 的 infra长什么样？
Anthropic 在这篇博客里其实已经给出了比较具体的答案：
不再假设客户端是人，它不再优化笔记本上的离线体验和人类逐条审 PR。
面向 agent 的 infra 会更服务端中心、API 驱动、稀疏访问、高吞吐、强治理。优化目标是“成千上万个始终在线的 agent 同时读写、合并、测试、落地代码”的场景。
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. Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/redesigning-source-controlView quoted post on X
