Context

GitHub's blog announced ReviewBench on Oct 5, 2026, an open benchmark for AI code review agents built on representative GitHub pull requests with multi-source ground truth. BenchLM says it tests complete code-review agents on 219 pull requests, scoring grounded precision and grounded recall.

Help Net Security reports it is available as a research preview through its website.

How it compares

The October launch of GitHub's open ReviewBench matches the sources, which date it Oct 5. 'Rush to grade the graders' is the author's framing; no source read counts other code-review benchmarks.

'the reviewer now gets reviewed' is the author's opinion.
