Understand this story
Jellyfish disclosed data on the share of PRs written and merged by autonomous coding agents. Its analysis, based on data from about 300,000 engineers at 1,300 companies, shows that at the median enterprise, autonomous coding agents have already written 22% of merged PRs, up from 18% a month earlier, with the top 10% of companies reaching 53%. However, the median share of PRs independently reviewed and merged by agents is only 0.6%, and 9% for the top 10%, with human review remaining the main bottleneck. The data also shows that the abandonment rate for PRs submitted by agents is 40%, versus 20% for humans, and that the number of human reviews each merged agent PR receives has more than doubled over the past year.
