I was waiting for an AI company to do this. The opportunity to disrupt Github is very apparent right now.
Although since vibe coding is Github's Achilles heel openai might not be quite the right company to exploit that.

#32Hi all, my name is Tomas. I am one of the developers on Origin, and I was one of the founders of Graphite ( https://graphite.com ). Happy to answer any questions about Origin or source control in general!
What's the biggest differentiator to GitHub (other than uptime). I keep hearing something along the lines of "GitHub for Agents" but would be great to hear from the devs of Origin what they actually think it means in tangible features/functionality?

Are you interested in integrating with more CI platforms, including less "traditional" ones, like dagger.io? If so I would love to talk :)

#34Does this have stacked PRs? Cursor acquired Graphite a while back and stacked PRs were a killer feature.

#36Let's see how strong GitHub's network effect really is. While the real solution is to actually self-host as I said before [0], it is worth testing to see how much can GitHub's users tolerate the endless outages and unreliability and where they go next. We'll see if they want Cursor Origin or the declining GitHub. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49331922
We are more likely to find out the anti-network effect of Elon
There are many people who will not touch this and look down upon those that do. Ethics and morals still seem to have some weight

What kind of enforceable guarantees could we actually get that xAI won't use our private code for training? Not empty promises, guarantees that have legal teeth. This applies to anything with xAI or Cursor though, especially after last months' revelation that Cursor was uploading every repo it touched.

That's horrific and the saddest thing I've read in a really long time. I'm glad I erased my Twitter account and I'm definitely not using this code host. Seriously, this is horrible.

#39Cursor is allegedly worth $60B. That is a higher market cap than Mercedes Benz group, which is profitable and has $144B revenue . But the website uses 100% CPU. And this is a beta for paid plans, not a GitHub alternative.
All AI companies are valued as if they'll win the AI race. Problem is, only one can win *
* That is, if a lab like Deepseek doesn't release a "good enough" model for the cost of electricity + a thin margin. Then all AI company lose and all consumers win.
