If you want AI Code Review, but don't want to pay $25 per review (not a typo), check out Codex Review! It leverages frontier Codex models, finds complex issues, and 100% usage based. Most runs should cost ~$1 or less https://developers.openai.com/ ...

Introducing Code Review for Claude Code. A deep, multi-agent review system that catches bugs that even human reviewers often miss. This is the system we've been running on nearly every PR at Anthropic. Doesn't approve PRs, but helps close the gap so devs can keep up. [video]

Agents search for bugs in parallel, verify each bug to reduce false positives, and rank bugs by severity. You get one high-signal summary comment plus inline flags.

Code Review optimizes for depth and may be more expensive than other solutions, like our open source GitHub Action. Reviews generally average $15-25, billed on token usage, and they scale based on PR complexity.

Sensible for Claude to launch this and we plan on benchmarking to see how it compares. But fwiw $15-25 per review is well over an order of magnitude more expensive than @Macroscope. Not because we want to subsidize model costs, but because architecturally our agent can use

$15-25 PER PR?? I already thought the $1 per scan of /security-review was not scalable, this must be a weird strategy to anchor the initial price super high

New in Claude Code: Code Review. A team of agents runs a deep review on every PR. We built it for ourselves first. Code output per Anthropic engineer is up 200% this year and reviews were the bottleneck Personally, I've been using it for a few weeks and have found it catches

$25 per code review... is a lot. @OpenAI Codex code review costs 90% less than other solutions on the market, and we're seeing enterprises like Datadog ( https://openai.com/...) move their code review workflows entirely to Codex. Also Codex Security is free for the next month

Imagine spending $15-25/pr on code review and you still have daily downtime and buggy releases. I'd be more confident in this feature if their production quality was higher. [image]

“Reviews are billed on token usage and generally average $15-25” — sounds high, but it means they take themselves to have solved the problem. the challenge with LLMs is to get them good enough where throwing more tokens at a problem gets you more. then you throw as many tokens…

People's comments on the $15-25 per PR price tag remind me of Michael Bloomberg's answer to people balking at the $2,700 / mo cost of the Bloomberg Terminal: “if you can't make $2,700/mo with our product, you got bigger problems to deal with”

I get the trade off is hiring a dev for $100+/hr so having Claude review a PR for $15-25 feels like a no brainer. But the problem is Claude will never tell you your PR is stupid in the first place. A good dev will, and that's priceless.

@Rahll 👋 Roughly, the more tokens you throw at a coding problem, the better the result is. We call this test time compute. One way to make the result even better is to use separate context windows. This is what makes subagents work, and also why one agent can cause bugs and anoth…

1. Subsidize code generation 90% so everyone forgets how to read/write code manually. 2. Now charge 10x - to ensure the generated code - that you largely can't understand - actually works. Donut and Dietician shop working out of same office.
