Devin-attributed work gets CodeRabbit follow-ups

Separate study: CodeRabbit follow-ups, May 25–October 11, 2026

In CodeRabbit’s May 25–October 11 audit, we found 2 original PRs crediting Devin, followed by 2 CodeRabbit auto-fix PRs; 1 follow-ups were merged. This cohort was selected through CodeRabbit, so it cannot tell us what fraction of this agent’s overall work receives follow-up fixes. Credits can name a model without identifying its client.

Specific work you can inspect

BerriAI/litellm: “fix(ui): move tags typed into key metadata JSON into the Tags field” (merged). OpenAgentsInc/openagents: “docs: spec for connecting a GPU door (GCE H100, Modal, local) to a chat” (merged).

This is a sample of publicly attributed work, not total usage or a market-share estimate. Repositories are not customers. Attribution is declared in metadata, not independently verified tool execution; it does not prove exclusive authorship or autonomy. PR status is recorded at capture; merged does not establish correctness.

Method and audit data

Up to 100 most recently created search results in each of five consecutive 28-day windows; post-filtered for attribution in the PR body, bot author, or Codex branch. Not a random or exhaustive sample.

Returned records dated Jun 21, 2026–Oct 11, 2026.

Public GitHub commits attributed to Devin

Devin's work is visible through its integration; many commits inside its PRs land under the developer, so the pull-request count is the better task measure.

Last full week (ending 2026-10-18): 11,355 signed commits (-52.2% week over week), exact count.

Distinct users: 1,179 humans opened the 12,600 most recently sampled PRs, about 10.7 PRs per person.

Merge rate: 68.1% of its pull requests get merged (52,943 of 77,724 over 8 settled weeks, 2026-08-10 to 2026-10-04). The window ends about ten days back so recently-opened PRs have had time to merge.

GitHub review activity: 11.2% of its merged PRs had at least one GitHub review record before merging; the other 88.8% had none. This is a broad weekly signal and can include bot reviews; the human-review read below comes from the enriched PR sample.

In significant repos (company-owned or 10+ stars), 51.6% of its merged PRs got a human review. Across all sampled repos, the rate is 18.3%. Human review means a non-author, non-bot GitHub reviewer in the PR-lifecycle sample.

Median time to merge: 23 min. The unreviewed median is 0.33h. The human-reviewed median is 1.82h. From a 120-PR sample merged 2026-07-30 to 2026-08-28.

Test-inclusion: 45.8% of its sampled merged PRs touch a test file. This is a rough read on production readiness. 1 large PRs hit GitHub's 100-file path read cap, so treat this as a floor.

Commits per PR: 1.2 over the last 8 weeks. Both counts come from the same visible workflow, so this is a clean measure of how many commits make up one delegated task.

Flow share: 0.5% of the 1999 most recent public PRs sampled (10 PRs, 2 windows, last 2026-09-27).

Task lens: 161K agent-opened PRs. Devin's task unit is the pull request; private enterprise repositories are excluded.

Snapshot 2026-06-09, confidence High, tracked since 2026-06-09, +3.6% over 7 days. Read the methodology.
