Anthropic reportedly built Scion to replace Git for 30,000 daily agent merges

The post claims that between May and September 2026, autonomous Claude coding agents pushed Anthropic's internal monorepo merge velocity from 2,500 to over 30,000 merges/day (1 every 2.8 seconds). At that scale—100 GB main branch history, 25 GB working copy, 25M daily CI checkouts—naive Git traffic allegedly hit 600+ PB/day, saturating hundreds of internal Git mirrors.
The author says a 7-person Anthropic team built "Scion" in 5 months to replace Git, optimized with "Claude Mythos Preview", with an 11-minute architecture walkthrough video. Caution: the dates, system and model names are unverifiable and may be fabricated—treat details skeptically.
