Anthropic's daily merged code changes grew roughly tenfold since May 2026, per posts on X

Andrew Curran, posting on X, says Anthropic's code changes merged per day have grown 10x since May.

He quotes Anthropic saying Claude can iterate autonomously on research loops, micro-optimize complex programs, and build new services from the ground up.

Yuchen Jin, also on X, gives specific figures: about 2,500 merged code changes per day in May 2026 and over 30,000 per day as of September, which he calls 12x growth in four months. He attributes GitHub's frequent outages to this volume.

Neither post cites Anthropic-published merge data or a baseline source, so the growth figures are the posters' own claims.
