Ok, seems reasonable, but still a bit strange. If uptime is their problem, then a dedicated personal instance for their own projects seems good enough? But might be they have some other problems too.
On the other side, thinking about, if all the AI-Slope is moving to their own platform, it would be a big benefit for Github. And maybe this is their real goal? To let Github continue being a source of good high quality human-maintained training-material?

I love it. Brilliant satire that foreshadows the future.
On a quick glance, or skim read, you could be excused for believing this is real, but they drop just enough nuggets throughout that by the end there is no ambiguity.
Really helps illustrates how realistic this could be.
So this site is not satire. You can actually pay on Stripe and it will create code for you. The site is written with satirical language but it is a real service.
Agree. It's the primary reason (IMO) that they are so bullish on forcing people to use claude code. The telemetry they get is very important for training.
The Anthropic Marketing here has... not been. I think that it's a great signal of agent orchestration, logevity of tasks, etc, but the messaging is "Software is Over we built a C compiler that can build linux, doom, sqlite, etc".
The oracle and existing test suites were a big chunk of why this got as far as it did IMO (well besides the training data in which there have been hundreds of c compilers). I also don't see a reference to the studies that call out that they could get copyrighted works with high percentages out of models, which would should also be included.
I am currently deciding what I do with future projects with regards to open sourcing because of the world this has been creating with regards to IP.
