What did Entire launch on July 8, 2026?
Entire is a developer-platform startup that lets AI coding agents clone and pull code from a distributed, multi-region Git network instead of a single central host. On July 8, 2026, the company opened that network to preview users, with active nodes in the US, EU, and Australia.
The launch builds on a $60 million seed round Entire closed in February 2026 at a $300 million valuation — described by lead investor Felicis as the largest seed round in developer tools history.
Why does a distributed Git network matter for AI coding agents?
As more coding agents clone and pull code at the same time, centralized hosts face mounting pressure. GitHub itself froze new Copilot sign-ups when agentic usage broke its economics, and the platform has suffered repeated outages as vibe coding has exploded.
Entire's answer is regional mirroring. A developer mirrors an existing GitHub repository onto Entire in one step. The code stays where it is. Agents then clone and pull from a nearby Entire node, offloading heavy concurrent read traffic so they can keep working without hitting rate limits.
Thomas Dohmke, Entire's CEO and former GitHub chief executive, frames this as a return to basics. "By design, Git was always meant to be distributed," he said, arguing that centralized hosting has become a fundamental constraint now that billions of agents and developers are hitting the same servers.

What benchmarks did Entire publish?
Entire released its own performance figures alongside the launch. The numbers are not independently verified, but the company says it will open-source both the Git backend and the benchmark suite so outsiders can test them.
| Metric | Entire's reported figure |
|---|---|
| Clones per hour (single repo) | ~570,000 |
| Pushes per second | 586 (~2.1 million/hour) |
| Combined clone-and-push ops/sec | ~470 |
| Median latency (mixed clone+push) | ~50–60 ms |
ZDNet reported that Entire compared its push figure to Cursor Origin, a competing agent-first coding platform that claimed 81,360 pushes per hour in a recent keynote. Entire told ZDNet it is "currently benchmarking up to 25x ahead of other Git competitors' claims."
The mixed clone-and-push test is the one Entire says best mirrors real agent behavior: clone a repository, push a handful of changes, then repeat in a tight loop.
What features ship with the distributed network?
The Git network sits on top of the semantic memory layer Entire launched in February. That layer stores each agent session, prompt, and tool call in the repository alongside the code. Here's what we know so far about the features that ship with the July preview:
- Entire Blame — shows not just who changed a line of code, but the agent session and prompt behind it.
- Entire Review — sends a branch to several agents at once for an intent-aware read of the diff.
- Search — lets developers and agents query not just how code changed over time, but why it was written.
The memory layer now plugs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory AI, and GitHub Copilot.
Dohmke put it plainly: "Session logs are now the second most important artifact in software development, and they belong in the repository alongside the code."
Who backed Entire and how big is the company?
The $60 million seed round was led by Felicis, with participation from Madrona, M12, Global Founders Capital, Cherry Ventures, Picus Capital, Basis Set, and 20VC. Angel investors include Garry Tan of Y Combinator, Jerry Yang of AME Cloud Ventures, Olivier Pomel of Datadog, Gergely Orosz of The Pragmatic Engineer, and Theo Browne of T3 Chat.
The company has grown to more than 40 people across nine countries and plans to reach 60 by the end of 2026.
Dohmke has also personally backed Tangled, a separate decentralized Git effort, signaling his broader conviction that routing around a single provider is the right direction for the industry.
What comes next for Entire?
TNW reported that Entire plans to let developers host new public and private repositories natively in the coming months. The longer-term roadmap calls for a fully decentralized network of interconnected nodes, enabling data residency and sovereignty for teams that need to keep code in-region while staying part of a single global system.
Developers can join the waitlist now at entire.io, with nodes already active in the US, EU, and Australia.
