Is not working with gpt5.x models (Unsupported parameter: 'max_tokens' is not supported with this model. Use 'max_completion_tokens' instead.) which is hardcoded. I dont know why this is on the front page. My review-with-codex skill is working just fine, consuming my usage and not API tokens.

Managed to get it to work with those actually. (Had to change the code of course)

Not sure why you got downvoted, and I have nothing against CodeRabbit, but this comment feels a bit like a paid ad :) How do you see CodeRabbit against other AI code review solutions? E.g. cubic.dev, Qodo, Graphite, Greptile, Baz, Augment Code... An alternative UI to GitHub is well overdue. But once someone will get it right, everyone will copy them...

That’s exactly why I’m getting downvoted, and I get it tbh. I knew people would ask for recommendations. It’s ok. I haven’t used any of the tools you mentioned. We started using coderabbit just this year. The new PR review UI just came out. It’s made for big AI reviews which internally we’re trying to rein in. I like the direction they’re moving in with that, it uses AI to help you rather than bypass you. So you have…

Tried it a while back and my team asked me to remove it. But maybe they improved since then.

I've tried many AI code review tools. Nothing comes close to the depth of CodeRabbit reviews. It's the only such tool that can find real logical bugs. I'd love to be able to get Claude Code to do similar quality of review, but I can't get it right, no matter how I try.

Even if this was true, it’s hard to believe, and written a bit like an ad. Eg no vendor would get me to write a comment like this. All the more so, I tried CR and my team asked me to remove it. Maybe they got better but it’s a bit weird to me considering they only charge $20 and Claude Code say they estimate the same cost for a single PR for their competing product.

Well, I'm just an extremely happy user. I've honestly tried to find an alternative, and couldn't. I'm using it in the context of solo developer and it provides a huge value to me.

I typically use Opus for code editing and GPT 5.5 for peer review using an automation with skills. Training set is different between models.

well they are different. human or not. so it makes sense to get it reviewing by "something" different that one that wrote code.

There is some evidence.[1] The best reviewer is a different model with fresh context, worst is same model with same context.
