The bigger issue is not just the upgrade but how brittle the system is. Modern practices like rolling releases or safe fallback modes are standard elsewhere. Critical infrastructure should not be this fragile.

A computer upgrade shut down BART 11 months ago
Fair point. I think the bottom line is that it depends a lot on the context and how the prompt is framed. For PRs with small enough scope, I have seen LLMs provide decent value, mostly in surfacing potential issues or offering quick summaries. That said, the Semgrep analysis highlights that accuracy and coverage still fall short even in these narrow cases, so clearly there is still a lot of work to be done before this becomes broadly reliable.
Interesting. LLMs are already shining at PR reviews even if they struggle with massive codebases right now. And they are evolving fast enough that those scaling limits might not stay limits much longer.
