New Meta paper shows that AI agents can build on each other's work, even failed attempts, when every step lives in a shared Git repo. Most ways to give agents more compute treat each run on its own. When a run ends, its partial results and failures vanish, so later runs may need to rediscover them. GitSwarm runs many identical agents on a shared repo, with no boss assigning tasks. Each agent reads past work, picks what to try, and commits its result with a list of earlier commits it used, even from other branches. On 50 program-rebuilding tasks from ProgramBench, GitSwarm scored 79.4%, while a single Codex agent told to keep working peaked at 65.1% at similar compute. Later agents built on 94.7% of saved contributions. Instead of pushing a single agent to keep going, run several over a shared Git history that keeps every attempt, failures included.
