   Anthropic's Scion accused of deliberately copying Meta's Mononoke data model

   In a follow-up post about Anthropic's Scion version control system, blogger sunshowers says the project did not merely borrow unintentionally from Meta's Mononoke but deliberately and blatantly ripped it off, claiming he privately received confirmation and that there was overlap in personnel. He argues the resemblance goes far beyond the general idea of derived data, extending to the entire data model: Scion's changesets are described as essentially identical to Mononoke's Bonsai changesets, and he notes even the name "Scion" reverses the syllables of "Bonsai" and drops the "B". The author says he has no problem with good ideas being copied, only with credit being stripped, and that crediting Sapling with "hard-won lessons" is not enough — which makes Anthropic's "our LLM rebuilt and productionized this in five months" story less impressive, though still notable. As of the post, Anthropic had not updated its original write-up or responded.
