Summary

  • Entire opened a preview of a decentralized Git network built for agentic coding, launched by former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman as developers hit GitHub reliability and load problems.
  • Benchmarks shown by the company put the service at 570,000 clones an hour and 2.1 million pushes an hour—about 25 times faster than rivals—while supporting popular coding agents.
  • The pitch centers on GitHub's struggles handling AI-driven coding traffic, with challengers arguing centralized infrastructure is becoming a bottleneck as "vibe coding" spreads.
  • The launch adds to a broader race to build developer tools around AI agents, where performance, uptime and compatibility are becoming key selling points.
