CodeRabbit vs GitLab

AI Coding Spend Soars 16x; PR Velocity Doubles

A new analysis by The Pragmatic Engineer, based on data from 27 companies plus CodeRabbit and Gitar, reveals dramatic increases in AI spending for software engineering. CodeRabbit data shows weekly PRs per developer doubled (113% increase), while Gitar reports AI-native teams shipping 60+ PRs per developer weekly. Spending patterns vary widely: a quant trading firm's AI spend ballooned from $500K to $8M monthly (16x), averaging $1,600 per developer monthly, while a two-person .NET shop spends $3,000 per developer monthly. High spenders like Meta and NVIDIA encourage heavy AI use, while Apple engineers remain cautious. Median spend is around $300-500 per developer monthly, with common spending caps. Notably, despite increased PR counts, several companies report flat or modest velocity gains, with one engineer noting that quality-focused teams see little speed increase. The article highlights challenges in measuring ROI and the shift to models like Claude Opus 5.5.

• CodeRabbit data shows a 113% increase in weekly PRs per developer.
• Gitar reports AI-native teams ship 60+ PRs per developer per week.
• A quant trading firm's AI spend increased 16x from $500K to $8M monthly.
