At least for Anthropic, their article states they've vastly overgrown Meta's and Google's pace.

I think their article reads a bit differently, they haven't optimised git, they've ditched it in favour of a new CVS.

Do you mean VCS?

I don't think so, their article says they were seeing 30,000 commits a day in September, when I was at Meta six years ago they were easily doing that.

Size of the commit matters just as much as the total number so there's a missing half not being presented.

I would disagree. The size doesn't matter that much. The main metric is just number of commits, because that is what drives the flow. Not saying size doesn't have an effect, just saying number of commits is the primary signal.

Average number of files changed per commit is going to have a huge impact on performance since that’s a huge part of what the “git push” handshake is trying to figure out regarding what to upload.

Not even close. The rate of code development nowadays far exceeds what Meta _and_ Google combined could output during the early-to-mid 2010s. I wouldn't be surprised if OpenAI is committing over a billion loc a day.
