GitHub Adds 4 Million Extra Cores

GitHub added four million extra cores to keep its services online, a move that could change how we use the platform. This expansion follows GitHub's plan to re-architect its infrastructure to handle the growing AI workload, dubbed the AI slop-pocalypse. Microsoft, GitHub's parent, is also charting a 2026 roadmap that promises deeper integration of AI features across its developer tools. Shareholders have pressed Microsoft to disclose how these upgrades will cut emissions, as the company pledged to be carbon-negative by 2030. If the plan succeeds, GitHub could become AI development's backbone, but test is keeping the service stable as demand soars. GitHub's CEO, Chris Wanstrath, said the company is 'building the foundation for the next decade of AI work.'
