CodeRabbit
An AI-driven code review tool based on large language models that performs semantic-level analysis of pull requests, identifying logic defects, security vulnerabilities, and code style issues, and delivering feedback as inline comments.
Core Facts
CodeRabbit is an AI code review tool that can review all code changes at once, catching security vulnerabilities and performance issues.
CodeRabbit identifies code changes and provides review suggestions by comparing differences between Git branches (Git Diff), rather than scanning the entire codebase.
Timeline (last 90 days)
CodeRabbit's security agent does not automatically fix vulnerabilities; it only provides detection results and suggested fixes for developers to review and confirm.
CodeRabbit uses GPT-6.1 Sol to investigate security risks in complex codebases, and its security agent helps developers review detection results and suggested fixes.
Teams with large codebases, complex cross-module dependencies and a continuing need for security review can better realize the value of CodeRabbit's security agent.
The focus of competition among AI coding assistants is shifting from code generation and completion to code quality and security, and CodeRabbit's use of GPT-6.1 Sol for security review is a microcosm of this trend.
CodeRabbit's use of large models for security investigation is essentially layering semantic reasoning on top of rule-based scanning to compensate for traditional SAST's shortcomings in cross-module understanding and alert noise reduction.
CodeRabbit works through a process of creating a separate branch, committing changes, and opening a Pull Request, letting the AI scan the entire codebase and obtain all review comments in one go.
CodeRabbit joined the Claude Marketplace on May 27, 2026, allowing Anthropic customers to apply existing spending commitments to CodeRabbit, and the official listing states that Claude powers CodeRabbit's context engine and review framework.
Anthropic charges based on token usage deducted from an organization-level usage allowance, whereas CodeRabbit charges a monthly per-seat fee based on the number of developers who create pull requests; the two billing models differ.
After enabling reviews.request_changes_workflow, CodeRabbit can formally approve a PR via @coderabbitai approve and can serve as a required reviewer in a merge gate; whereas Claude Code Review's check run only ever ends as neutral or skipped, never marking as failed, so it cannot directly serve as a required reviewer.
CodeRabbit states it never uses customer code for model training, and code is sent only to OpenAI and/or Anthropic for review purposes; under Anthropic's commercial terms (Team, Enterprise, API) data is not used for training by default unless the customer actively opts in, while Free, Pro and Max accounts use data when the training setting is on.
