Cursor's Tomas Reimers launches Origin, a Git-compatible version control platform for AI agents, and acquires Graphite
Story Overview
Cursor introduced Origin as a purpose-built Git platform that treats AI agents as first-class users, complete with S3-backed infinite replicas and built-in handling for merge conflicts that agents create during parallel work.
Throughput Claims Stand Out
Live demo numbers showed 22.6 commits per second inside one repo plus hundreds of thousands of clones and pushes hourly, numbers that aim to remove Git bottlenecks once many agents edit the same codebase at once.
Availability Details Stay Sparse
A fall 2026 release is the only confirmed window; pricing, early access, and enterprise features were not addressed during the stage announcement.
Positive users are excited by Cursor's Origin as an AI-native Git platform and eager to adopt it, while negative users question the need to replace Git and fear new costs.

@daniel_mac8 Yup.
They specifically framed it as: “taking on github”
