The change follows a surge in AI‑generated code, with daily changes rising from about 2,500 in May 2026 to over 30,000 in September, a 100GB history and 25 million test pulls per day. A seven‑person team completed the migration in five months, and Anthropic says Scion is for internal use only and does not replace git for general developers.\n\nGoogle made Gemini 4 Argon generally available on October 13, pricing the API at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with a planned price increase to $4 and $20 respectively in December. The free tier is not eligible. DeepSeek’s V4.1‑Flash‑1017 arrived on October 17, improving Terminal‑Bench scores from 31.2 to 42.3 while keeping the same API pricing and offering weights under an MIT license.\n\nClaude, Anthropic’s internal research model, identified the seed value for the P‑256 elliptic‑curve parameter as a random number generated on August 16, 1997 at 1:52:34 AM UTC, reducing speculation about a deliberate backdoor.","keyPoints":["Anthropic moved from git to Scion after AI code changes rose from about 2,500 to over 30,000 per day, with a 100GB history and 25 million daily test pulls.","Gemini 4 Argon became generally available on Oct 13 at $2 input / $10 output per 1 M tokens, set to double in December; free tier not eligible."],"whyItMatters":"The shift to internal code tools shows AI‑driven development scaling, while new open‑weight models from Google and Meta broaden access to large‑scale AI, influencing competition and pricing.","category":{"slug":"models","name":"Generative AI & Models","url":"https://digestai.news/category/models"},"entities":{"companies":["Anthropic","Google","Meta","DeepSeek"],"models":["Gemini 4 Argon","Muse Spark Open","Muse Wonder","DeepSeek V4.1-Flash-1017","GPT-6.1 Sol","Claude Code"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-18T08:08:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-18T08:08:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"note.com","title":"5 AI News Highlights of the Week: Anthropic Ditches Git, Codex Resets Almost Daily, and More","url":"https://note.com/gadgettakayuki/n/nb1e3daec4a40?hl=en","publishedAt":"2026-10-18T08:08:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":{"title":"Google Unveils Efficient Gemini 4 Argon","url":"https://digestai.news/thread/gemini-4-argon-built-to-solve-your-hardest-problems","storyCount":5},"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Anthropic switches from git to internal Scion as AI writes over 30,000 code changes daily\", 18 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/anthropic-switches-from-git-to-internal-scion-as-ai-writes-over-30-000","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Anthropic switches from git to internal Scion as AI writes over 30,000 code changes daily","datePublished":"2026-10-18T08:08:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/anthropic-switches-from-git-to-internal-scion-as-ai-writes-over-30-000"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
