Do panel-of-judges code reviewers still matter as agent models improve?

Is a human panel still useful for agent code review?

The post asks whether a 2024 paper about a panel of judges still matters for reviewing code written by agents now that frontier models are much stronger. It also asks if several small, cheap models working together can still outperform a larger model in review quality.

The core question is not about model release news, but about evaluation design for agentic code review: whether ensemble-style judging remains relevant as model capabilities advance.
