Reason Machines open-sources Aspen, a Git server built for AI agents that push all day
The self-hosted server follows OpenAI's Pando design and handled 567 pushes per second on one 8-core machine in the company's test.

When your committers are AI agents, Git hosting looks different. Reason Machines has released Aspen as open source: a Git server you host yourself, designed for AI agents as its main users, according to MarkTechPost.
Aspen follows the design of OpenAI's Pando, and the company says it sustained 567 pushes per second on a single 8-core server in its own test.
Details are thin beyond that, and the benchmark is the vendor's. But the problem is real. A human team might push a few dozen times an hour; a fleet of coding agents working in parallel, each on its own branch, can generate a constant stream of small pushes. Hosted Git platforms and traditional servers weren't built with that load pattern in mind. As tools like Conductor-style agent runners spread, the version control layer becomes part of agent infrastructure. Aspen is worth watching if you're running many agents against your own repos.
Scoreboard update: AI +1. Git gets a server sized for agents instead of people.
Stay undead.
