2026-04-16 9 min read Agents have changed how we think about source control, file systems, and persisting state. Developers and agents are generating more code than ever — more code will be written over the next 5 years than in all of programming history — and it’s driven an order-of-magnitude change in the scale of the systems needed to meet this demand. Source control platforms are especially struggling here: they were built to meet the needs of humans, not a 10x change in volume driven by agents who never sleep, can work on several issues at once, and never tire. We think there’s a need for a new primitive: a distributed, versioned filesystem that’s built for agents first and foremost, and that can serve the types of applications that are being built today. We’re calling this Artifacts: a versioned file system that speaks Git. You can create repositories programmatically, alongside your agents, sandboxes, Workers, or any other compute paradigm, and connect to it from any regular Git client.…
