Copilot Code Review Cuts Costs by 20%
hboelman · x · 2026-07-11
By tweaking the behavior of its agent loop to act "more like a reviewer than a tool-calling bot," GitHub Copilot Code Review managed to reduce costs by 20% without compromising quality.
The emphasis here isn't simply on reducing tool calls, but rather on aligning the agent's workflow more closely with that of a human reviewer, thereby achieving better cost-efficiency.
