Sourcegraph analyzed 517,604 commits across 120 established open-source repositories to investigate the adoption of agentic code.
The study focuses on answering several key questions:
- Adoption Rate: How quickly AI-generated code is landing in main open-source branches.
- Distribution: Where this code is primarily showing up within the projects.
- Code Stickiness: Whether agent-generated code actually sticks over time or gets quickly rewritten or deleted.
