Can Jev be used as a lightweight PR reviewer?

I use coderabbit on my repos for review. i push a lot of code daily with agents and it's pretty hard to review all of them. Coderabbit works fine but the comments are just new thing to read.

I was wondering if jev could be used to build a codereviewer which is fast and lightweight.

Interesting. While I am unclear if Jev can indeed be a standalone reviewer because it cannot generate conversational text or free-form comments. Maybe something like this - https://github.com/devagrawal09/jev-review

This sparked an idea for me to use Jev in my recently launched Panel Review tool that reviews the agent's riskiest decisions using a multiple models that argue and come to a consensus. see more - https://truverif.ai/panel-review. In order to determine risk, we use a text based classifier which I think could be replaced by Jev. Will still have to evaluate the privacy and cost considerations.

I have been trying Jev myself for a bit, and I've been playing with a neural network to see how far I can push it. Jev is more of a small classifier, not intended for code, AFAIK.

However, I did build a PR bot; check it on ci.heyeddi.com. The goal was to build something that can actually help make progress without babysitting, so we can work on other things. Any feedback appreciated

Idk about JEV, but a PRI(Production Reliability Index) can be helpful in your case since its just a score based on the reliability signals around the change

There is a video about this from the CodeRabbit + Jev team: https://x.com/coderabbitai/status/2105673730231882022?s=20

Interesting idea. Maybe can put it to guide the code reviewer's attention, i.e. which part of the code needs most of their time.
