GitHub added 4 million CPU cores, just to keep up with our agentic workflows.

According to Tom’s Hardware’s write-up of GitHub’s report, a sixfold jump in activity in one year also meant an extra 160PB of storage.

Somebody pays for that

So how long until the price goes up, or pull requests move to consumption-based billing? :)

It's someone else's computer, and they've got opinions about your architecture.
