We switched to a 5x cheaper LLM. Our costs went up.
Cost per outcome beats cost per token. A model that finishes in one pass at $3/MTok is cheaper than one that loops at $0.60.
Small things that matter:
→ Faster initial code reviews
→ We remember your feedback (won't re-report dismissed issues)
→ Real-time progress updates while we work
→ Sign in with GitLab
Two new controls for gradual rollout:
Label filtering to only review PRs with specific labels
Inline comment filtering to enable inline comments for specific authors only
Most AI code review tools are just comment generators, not reviewers.
And the fastest way to kill trust in AI reviews is simple: comment spam.
More comments ≠ better review.
It usually means noisier PRs, longer cycles, and engineers tuning everything out.
We have been quiet for a while cooking up something fresh! More regular product updates and more from now :)
Product Updates 1/19/26
You can now try Gitar on existing open PRs - no need to create a test PR to see how it works
Jimy is plugged into Amp, Gitar's AI-native engine purpose-built for code automation. Amp is built for enterprise scale codebases and can process millions of lines of code extremely quickly
Jimy keeps developers in the flow and reduces context switching. Jimy works in the background to address issues that take developers out of the core development inner loop - code review comments, build and test failures, incidents, security scanner alerts, etc.
Jimy addresses the entire code maintenance process end-to-end. Jimy comes with many well-known library and framework migrations baked in.
Jimy enables engineering teams to create and share their custom migration workflows, tailored to their unique codebases and requirements.
Jimy enables engineering teams to automate complex codebase-wide migrations, library upgrades, cleanup dead code, fix security issues, improve test coverage, etc.
We are excited to introduce Jimy - the agentic AI to build better software.
Jimy integrates seamlessly across the entire software lifecycle and enables engineering teams to focus on delivering features rather than paying down technical debt.
