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](https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/11/09/reason-machines-aspen-open-source-git-server-ai-agents/).

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](/news/meta-buys-conductor-the-app-that-runs-a-squad-of-coding-agents-side-by-side) 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](/scoreboard) update:** AI +1. Git gets a server sized for agents instead of people.

Stay undead.
