AI Summary
Cursor began rolling out its new code‑hosting platform, Origin, to paid users on Monday morning. About three and a half hours later, GitHub experienced a global degradation lasting six hours and forty‑two minutes, with error rates near 20% on pull requests, issues, and the API, and nearly 50% on archive and raw file downloads. The outage also knocked out Enterprise single sign‑on (SAML, OIDC, SCIM provisioning, Team Sync) and Copilot. Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch posted that users can now host repositories in Cursor Origin and deploy to Vercel, noting that Origin remained online while GitHub was down.
